Call for Papers
IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems Special Issue on Social Sensing and Privacy Computing in Intelligent Social Systems
http://www.ieeesmc.org/images/publications/css/CFP-TCSS-SI_final.pdf
Deadline: 30 June 2019
Dramatic spread of online social network services such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google+ has led to an increasing awareness of the power of incorporating social elements into a variety of data-centric applications. These applications, in recent years, apply various sensors with social media platforms to continuously collect massive data which can be directly associated with human interactions. This phenomenon has led to the creation of numerous social sensing systems such as Biketastic, BikeNet, CarTel and Pier, which use social sensors (i.e., users) for a variety of social sensing systems and applications. Social sensing has become an emerging and promising sensing paradigm that relies on the voluntary cooperation of users equipped with embedded or integrated sensors.
The privacy issue, considering the above-mentioned situation, may become one of the most paramount concerns to ensure the long-term success of social sensing systems. Most of existing approaches are designed for a specific case and/or scenario. A systematical privacy computing model is urgently needed to quantitively capture and evaluate the privacy protection solution, the motivation of privacy disclosure, and so on. This systematical study of privacy issues is particularly important for social sensing systems in order to e.g. quantitively unveil the reasons for increasing privacy disclosure.
This special issue is devoted to the most recent developments and research outcomes addressing the related theoretical and practical aspects on social sensing and privacy computing in intelligent social systems, and it also aims to provide worldwide researchers and practitioners an ideal platform to innovate new solutions targeting at the corresponding key challenges.
