HotPOST'13 will be held in conjunction with IEEE ICDCS'13 in Philadelphia, USA!
HotPOST 2012 is organized with the objective of bringing together researchers working on the intersection of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Online Social Networking (OSN) to present and discuss their latest research results and ideas, thereby promoting the development and evolution of this area. All submissions on P2P and OSN related to architecture, design, implementation, simulation, analysis and measurement are welcomed. We highly encourage novel and innovative previously unpublished work, even reporting work in early stage.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Social network analysis for P2P and distributed computing systems
- OSN-based systems and designs
- P2P-based social networking architectures
- P2P-based solutions to cloud computing and data center problems
- Evolution of P2P communities and systems
- Reputation, security, incentives, and economics in P2P systems
- Mobile P2P and social networking systems
- P2P overlays, file sharing, and streaming systems
- User behavior analysis and modeling in OSNs
- Security and privacy in OSNs
- Evolutions and dynamics of OSNs and their implications
- Decentralized OSN Applications
Papers accepted for HotPOST 2012 workshop will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. All accepted papers will be included in IEEE ICDCS 2012 workshop proceedings, as well as IEEE Xplore (indexed by EI). The technical program committee will select one winner for the Best Paper Award and one winner for the Best Paper Runner-up.
