Original, high quality manuscripts are sought for a special issue on the theme 
of Online Social Networks. Internet is used to support more and more social 
activities, such as chatting, public discussion, sharing photographs with 
family and friends, and sharing and propagating news. Other activities, be it 
online games, interactive TV, online shopping and tourism, or even academic 
publishing, all have a social-network aspect in them. Due to the opportunity in 
measuring, modeling, and analyzing these online social networks, there is great 
interest to study them for all kinds of purposes. Engineers want to find out 
how to improve system design and offer more features; businesses are interested 
in marketing and advertising opportunities; all kind of social science scholars 
can find things of interest to them.  

Topics of Interest: Our aim is to bring together a collection of related new 
contributions to this inter-disciplinary area of research of current interest.
