On the one hand, the impressive diffusion of Online Social Networking platforms is making OSNs a pervasive tool for maintaining social relationships between people. On the other hand, the diffusion of mobile personal devices with rich networking and computing capabilities is fostering novel patterns of users interactions through social networks, also depending on the dynamic context and locations of the users. Last but not least, pervasive mobile technologies enable completely novel types of social networking applications and services, such as Mobile Social Networks. The enormous potential of Pervasive Social Computing is leading scientific communities in different disciplines, from computer science to social science, communication science and economy, to analyze, study and provide new theories, models, methods, technological solutions and case studies. Interestingly, more and more Pervasive Mobile Computing technologies are designed using inter-disciplinary approaches, that exploit models of the users personal and social behavior to design algorithms, protocols, services and applications. The special issue aims to encourage the multidisciplinary discussion involving academics, researchers and professionals on theories, approaches, analysis, design and evaluation of services and networking solutions for Pervasive Social Computing. Researchers are increasingly interested in addressing a wide range of Pervasive Social Computing challenges residing in Social networks and Social Computing systems including: their architecture, algorithms and protocols for social networking services, the creation of new analysis models, the monitoring of emerging trends, studies on trust, privacy and security issues and their potential applications. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - Security, privacy and trust in Pervasive Social Computing systems - Innovative Pervasive Social Computing services and applications - Architectures, algorithms and protocols for Pervasive Social Computing systems - Mobile networking solutions for Pervasive Social Computing - Context modeling, reasoning and context awareness in Pervasive Social Computing - Pervasive sensing technologies applied to Pervasive Social Computing - Opportunistic networking for Pervasive Social Computing - Innovative Mobile Social Networking technologies and services - Inter-disciplinary approaches to the design of Pervasive Social Computing systems - Analysis of users social interactions in mobile and pervasive social networks - Novel Online Social Networking services and users' behaviors enabled by pervasive mobile networks - Real experiences and experiments with Pervasive Social Computing systems and applications - Opportunistic and transient social interactions in Pervasive Social Computing systems - Social and economic models for Pervasive Social Computing systems - Pervasive and social collaboration tools - Impacts of Pervasive Social Computing on users' behaviour in different domains (e.g. e-business, e-market, e-learning, e-health) Schedule Submission deadline: November 30th, 2015 Initial feedback to authors: March 31st, 2016 Revised papers due: May 15th, 2016 Final authors notification: June 30th, 2016 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: 4th Quarter 2016 Guest Editors Patrizia Grifoni, IRPPS-CNR, Italy Fernando Ferri, IRPPS-CNR, Italy Alessia D'Andrea, IRPPS-CNR, Italy Tiziana Guzzo, IRPPS-CNR, Italy Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Instructions for submission All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/.

The Series explores in depth the concept of ad hoc and = sensor networking, highlighting the recent research achievements in the= field, and also providing insight into theoretical and practical issue= s related to the development of these networks from different perspecti= ves. This series offers a relevant forum for both academic and industri= al research, covering, at the same time, the theory, the practice and t= he state of the art of ad hoc and sensor networking.=20 The special focus of this FT aims to explore the ad hoc and sensor netw= orks research and development related to social and mobile solutions: c= ommunications, applications, algorithms and systems as well as services= and computing. Thus, we are interested in articles that involve people= , networked sensors, mobile phones and/or sensing context, how they int= eract and how they perform. Both original research and review papers are welcome. Possible topics o= f social and mobile solutions in ad hoc and sensor networking include b= ut are not limited to: - Architectures and design=20 - Social and Mobile Systems - Communication issues=20 - Pervasive computing=20 - Human Mobility =20 - Analysis, simulation, and measurement=20 - Real Experiments Campaign - Social and Mobile Applications - Mobile Phone Sensing=20 - Social and economic aspects=20 This list is not exhaustive; submissions related to new and interesting= ideas relating broadly to Social and Mobile Solutions in Ad Hoc and Se= nsor Networking are encouraged. IEEE Communications Magazine is read by tens of thousands of Communicat= ions Society members. The papers will also be available on the internet= through Communications Magazine Interactive, the WWW edition of the ma= gazine. Details about IEEE Communications Magazine can be found at http= ://www.comsoc.org/ci/.

You will need to regi= ster and then proceed to the author center. On the manuscript details p= age, please select Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Series from the drop down= menu.=20 Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being= all members of the communications technology community. They should be= written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of = the article. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified ca= ses up to three simple equations are allowed). Articles should not exce= ed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total= of six. The number of archivable references is recommended to not exce= ed 15. In some rare cases, more mathematical equations, figures, and ta= bles may be allowed if well-justified. In general, however, mathematics= should be avoided; instead, references to papers containing the releva= nt mathematics should be provided. Complete guidelines for preparation = of the manuscript are posted at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-subm= ission-guidelines. Please submit a pdf (preferred) or MS WORD formatted= paper via Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-i= eee). Register or log in, and go to Author Center. Follow the instructi= ons there.=20 In your submission, please indicate in the sub-title that the paper is = to be considered for this Feature Topic, and not as a regular submissio= n to the Series on Adhoc and Sensor Networks, as follows: PAPER TITLE=20 Paper submitted to the Feature Topic on Social and Mobile Solutions in = Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking Series on Adhoc and Sensor Networks=20 SCHEDULE FOR THE SPECIAL ISSUE Manuscript Submission Date:=09January 11, 2016 Decision Notification:=09=09March 28, 2016 Final Manuscript Due Date:=09April 25, 2016 Publication Date: =09=09July 2016
