CFP: 3rd International Workshop on Open Challenges in Online Social
Networks (OASIS) @ ACM Hypertext 2023
https://ht.acm.org/ht2023/oasis/
4-8 September 2023, Rome, Italy
Accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library.
Special issues associated with the conference are being organized.
Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to those
journals.
## MOTIVATION AND RATIONALE
The diffusion of Online Social Networks (OSNs) has had a profound effect
on the way we interact and a deep impact on society and business. Social
Media have helped people to communicate, breaking down the geographical
barriers that restricted communication. Through social networks, virtual
communication, sharing of information, and community participation are
possible even among people in uncomfortable conditions. Today, Social
Media are one of the main parts of daily life by affecting sociality,
but they are also essential channels through which information travels
faster than ever. Analysis of OSN can help to foresee events to manage
critical scenarios.
The rapid growth in popularity has opened new challenging problems
involving numerous computer science fields. These issues have
implications for social graph analysis, trust and security, and so on.
Moreover, privacy issues and the usage of mobile devices have opened new
research fields in the design of decentralized online social networks,
which can be considered one of the most important challenges.
Furthermore, the current improvement concerning the study and the
proposal of new approaches for Social Networks and Media involves not
only complex network analysis, and, in particular, the decentralization
of social services, but also the introduction of innovative technologies
such as Artificial Intelligence and Virtual/Mixed Reality to ferry
humankind towards the next generation Online Social Networks. In
particular, the metaverse is playing a crucial role in this new
generation of hyperconnected, gamified, and immersive social networking
platforms, and as a consequence the introduction of decentralization in
social platforms, thanks to blockchain technology, but in particular
through the Web3 and NFTs, as part of the Metaverse world.
The workshop targets researchers, doctoral students, people from
industry and other people interested in discussing, reflecting and
networking on central themes associated with the development and use of
social networks. Papers on both theoretical and design aspects of social
networks are welcomed, which describe and evaluate novel design methods
and system prototypes. The workshop also welcomes work-in-progress and
position papers.
