Met= averse has emerged as one of the future Internet for business, socializatio= n, entertainment, and education in fully connected, immersive, and engaging= online 3D virtual experiences. Nevertheless, the ongoing pandemic via cont= act social networks has caused tremendous human life and economic loss arou= nd the world, and infodemic is one of the major social impacts that make pe= ople difficult to discriminate trustworthy sources, from false and manipula= tive information sources. Therefore, researchers are increasingly intereste= d in addressing a wide spectrum of challenges in social networks, such as d= eveloping social-aware algorithms for communications systems, identifying t= he topological common structures and information/influence flows, analyzing= the social media and evolutions of social graphs, and exploiting location-= based and contextual information embedded in mobile social networks to crea= te innovative applications. Due to its increasing prevalence and interdisci= plinary nature, social networks have also attracted intensive research inte= rests across multiple disciplines, including artificial intelligence, block= chain, big data analytics, information security and privacy protection, psy= chology, and marketing. In light of the above crucial needs, Selected Areas= in Communication Symposium in Social Networks will serve as a forum for re= searchers and technologists from academia, industry, and government to disc= uss the state-of-the-art, present their cutting-edge innovations and contri= butions, and set future directions in all aspects of social networks. The symposium seeks original contributions in the following topical areas, = plus others that are not explicitly listed but are closely related. =E2=97=8FArtificial Intelligence for social networks and applications =E2=97=8FSocial network analysis on epidemic diagnosis and asymptomatic inf= ector tracking for COVID-19 and other pandemic =E2=97=8FConvergence and interplay between Metaverse and the underlying com= munication networks =E2=97=8FInfrastructure, platform, protocol design, and optimization for mo= bile social networks, social vehicular networks, mobile social clouds, soci= al Internet-of-Things, and new paradigm of future social-aware communicatio= n networks =E2=97=8FSocial network graph modeling, analysis, measurements, and experim= ents using big data for a better understanding of social network influence,= reputation, recommendation, and community structure =E2=97=8F Data mining, machine learning, information retrieval, signal proc= essing, and artificial intelligence in social media and social contexts =E2=97=8FTrusted networking, privacy and security, user behaviors and dynam= ics, and digital right management for big data from social networks =E2=97=8F Innovative social networks applications and services to mobile In= ternet, multimedia networks, mobile commerce, cyber-physical systems, and t= heir potential social, economic, and cultural impacts =E2=97=8F Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on social networ= ks The authors of selected papers from this symposium will be invited to submi= t an extended version of their work for fast-track review and possible publ= ication in the IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for paper submission: 1 November 2022 Date for notification: 18 January 2023 Deadline for final paper submission: 15 February 2023 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS All papers for technical symposium should be submitted via EDAS.
