WOSN will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the challenges and important questions posed by emerging online social applications. Of particular interest are problems related to network and system architecture design that can best support emerging and future social and collaborative systems, and how those social networks can shape the design of existing distributed systems and real networks. The goal of the workshop is to facilitate cross-disciplinary discussion of relevance to computer networking, involving novel ideas and applications, and experimental results. The workshop solicits original, previously unpublished ideas on completed work, position papers, and/or work-in-progress papers. We encourage papers that propose new research directions or could generate lively debate at the workshop. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Implications of social networking on network and distributed systems design - System design for social networks - Network architecture design to support large scale social applications - Search strategies in social networks - Rating, review, reputation, and trust systems - Recommendation / collaborative filtering systems - Expertise / interest tracking - Identification of communities and their evolution in time - Anonymity and privacy - Measurement and analysis of online communities - Social media analysis: blogs and friendship networks - Mobile social networks - Information sharing and forwarding - Decentralized (ad hoc) network applications and services - Challenges posed by social networks Important Dates: Full paper submission: Friday March 7, 2008 Acceptance notification: Friday April 11, 2008 Camera-ready: Friday May 2, 2008 Workshop date: Monday Aug 18, 2008 Submission Instructions: Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be a pdf file. Reviews will be single-blind: authors name and affiliation should be included in the submission. Submissions must follow the formatting guidelines at http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2008/ . Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal.

At the same time, the Internet architecture struggles to incorporate the functionality that will sustain this increasingly more mobile and more dynamic Internet use. Efficient mobility management and mobility optimizations, locator-identifier splits, multihoming, security and related network operation and management functions are still in the early stages of development. It is, however, already clear that supporting widespread mobility poses to significantly impact the original end-to-end design of the Internet. At the same time, critical momentum is building to significantly revise or even replace the current Internet architecture. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives have started in Europe, the US and Asia, and the topic is also actively being discussed in the vendor and network operator communities. These Future Internet efforts offer the exciting opportunity to design radically different approaches to supporting host and network mobility and multihoming, and may eventually lead to an internetwork architecture with significantly more advanced mobility features than those that the piecemeal extensions of the current Internet protocols result in. MobiArch'08 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent advances in architectures, protocols and emerging technologies to enable mobility and multihoming in the Internet, as well as concepts and designs to support widespread mobility and multihoming in future internetworks. Early results, position papers, systems and measurement papers are particularly welcome. TOPICS MobiArch'08 covers all aspects related to mobility in the current and future Internet, including, but not limited to: * Architectures and protocols for mobility support at all layers of the Internet protocol stack, as well as cross-layer approaches * Novel concepts to support widespread mobility and multihoming in a Future Internet * Routing and addressing issues (including locator/identifier splits) and their impact on the Internet architecture * Multihoming, including flow distribution and load-sharing for wireless and mobility * Performance evaluation, experimentation and modeling of Internet mobility * Models for mobility patterns and their experimental validation * New wireless technologies and services and their impact on the Internet architecture * Location management, positioning and data management for wireless and mobility * Accounting, access control, security and privacy issues and their impact on the Internet architecture * Social, economic, scalability and deployment issues SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions must be no longer than six pages, including all figures and references, must be in PDF format, and must follow the ACM formatting guidelines (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Submissions that do not adhere to these requirements will be rejected without further review. Peer review is single-blind; the authors names and affiliations are to be included on the submission. Submissions cannot be previously published or be under concurrent review elsewhere. The submission of position papers is encouraged; please clearly identify position papers as such when submitting.
