Social Network for Mobility Services (SN4MS) - Workshop associated with 
the IEEE International Conference on Internet of iThings 2012

The workshop entitled "Social Network for Mobile Services"  (SN4MS for 
short) is intended for a duration of one day (4-5 time-slots including 
breaks); 10 up to 15 participants are expected. SN4MS follows a
selected 

paper form: a TPC participates in the 3-peer-reviewing of the papers 
(including the possibility to assign papers to external reviewers). In 
order to promote the workshop, organisers, TPC and publicity chair will 
(i) announce the call for paper at international renowned mailing
lists, 
(ii) deploy of a Web site dedicated to the workshop, (iii) directly 
email relevant institutions, projects, firms and activities. In 
addition, the organisers will activally investigate/look for the 
possibility to publish the best papers in special issues. All the
papers 
accepted will be published in the Proceedings of the IEEE iThings 
conference.

* Objective, scope and contribution to SN4MS
The SN4MS workshop aims at sharing theoretical, experimental and
operational results in the innovative conception and development of
Social Network based and Peer-to-peer oriented mobility services.
In particular,  both Social Networks based and Peer-to-peer oriented 
applications will be addressed, such as Dynamic and Multi-scaled 
Mobility Services based on wireless communications.
So, both modern smartphones and multi-communication embedded systems 
operating within or in relation with a peer-to-peer, or centralized
and 
monitored, shared mobility services are instrumental in the  conception 
and development of innovative applications. Shared mobility  services 
include dynamic car-pooling, or car sharing, or ressource  sharing when 
engaged in a real-time mobility information process, or  in a real-time 
mobility management process. Therin,  social networks  involved are,
not 
  only active in a static use of Internet  application, but also in a 
dynamic and mobile Internet application,  and even more in a 
peer-to-peer application web-service oriented which  may involved 
embedded and native smartphone applications.
The lesson learned conceiving, developping and maintaining such 
applications are particularly exposed to real-life environmental 
perturbations, unreliable wireless medium of communication, high 
mobility versatility.
This poses extraordinary challenges to both the designers and the
research community who attempt to provide real-time and multi-scaled
social network based applications. Targeted applications may be
sharing 
mobility application in global and public transportation  policy, 
services and systems, but not only. Then simulation  frameworks, 
emulation's one, such as optimizing's one may complete the  tool set to 
address multi-scaled mobility services, from individual or  collective 
human mobility to large-scale RF-Mems mobility.
Novel papers are invited from both academic and industrial research
environments, describing original theoretical or empirical results,
new technicals, or in-depth user studies on a series of social network 
based mobility services topics together towards smart and mutualized 
mobility, including but not limited to:
    - Wireless smartphone or internet mobile enhanced organization,
      optimization, simulation, emulation, tracking, real-time
      transportation management,
    - Mobility, Transport, resource planning and optimisation,
    - smart mobilities, robust and flexible cooperative mobility or
      services,
    - Simulation, emulation, real-world testbeds and commercial
      experiences,
    - Degradable wireless communication,
    - privacy, confidentiality, awareness, discrete to continuous
      wireless services
    - Service usage and user assistance.
    - ICT contextually positionning based services or applications
    - peer-to-peer positionning services, peer-to-peer contextual
      services
    - Innovative applications enabled by human mobility for other
      disciplines, such as sociology or environmental sciences
    - Inspiring  mobile social applications and services (Social-
      On-The-Go)
    - Mobile social networks for Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS)
    - Mobile applications for social sciences and large data collection
      enabled by human mobility and crowdsourcing


* Contribution to iThings: Real-Time, Multi-scaled, social 
network-based, mobility services constitute major applications of the 
Internet of the things and in particular of coming peer-to-peer
services 
and other ICT innovations. As such, the WSNS4MS workshop  spans across 
different communities (e.g., wire-less positionning  systems,
multi-GNSS 
based contextual mobile application for mobile,  multi-scaled and 
adaptive RF-MEMS, Real-Time and Cooperative  Processes, 
Simulation/emulation/operation systems, Intelligent  transportation 
system) that are in relation with the Internet of the  Things.
