Chapter Proposal Submission
Deadline: 15 February 2013

Introduction:
Recent rapid advances in mobile cellular networks and
telecommunications have introduced Opportunistic Mobile Social
Networks as an interesting topic to the research community, one that
has started to receive much attention from practitioners, scholars,
and the general public. An opportunistic mobile social network can be
described as a platform that provides services via hand-held and
wireless devices, mainly for the purpose of fostering and maintaining
social interactions and connections. Therefore, an opportunistic
mobile social network can be considered a form of social network where
services are provided with mobility as an added value. Thanks to
mobility, many emergent applications related to social networking are
now available for individuals, business enterprises, and governments.
Objective:
The main goal of this book is to collect the recent development on
theoretical and algorithmic aspects of the opportunistic mobile social
networks. This book will be of particular value to academics,
researchers, practitioners, government officials, business
organizations (e.g., executives, marketing professionals, resource
managers, etc.), and even customers -- working, participating, or
those interested in fields related to social networks. The content of
the book will be especially useful for students in areas like social
networks, informatics, wireless networks, data mining, and
administrative sciences and management, but also applies to students
of education, economy, or law, who would benefit from the information,
cases, and examples therein.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Part I: Social Networks and Complex Networks
Part II: Opportunistic Networks
Part III: Opportunistic Mobile Social Networks
Part IV: Applications
