<font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">Social media are fundamentally changing the manner in which we connect, communicate, interact, collaborate and socialize in our daily lives. Before social media appeared, the public could only passively access information released by traditional media. With the rise of Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and other social networks (SNS), a huge volume of social media information is disseminated.</font></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">The availability of massive and heterogeneous social media data, involving user’s profiles, geo-locations, trajectories, albums, audio, videos, and interaction records, media contents and other metadata, has created numerous new research challenges and opportunities. For example, there are various issues concerning security and privacy, and the identification and avoidance of false information in social media. With the emergence of big data as an important information technology in support of computational analytical methods for understanding relations in human society, it becomes possible to use text mining, image recognition, behavior modeling, affective computing, and public opinion analysis and monitoring with social media to provide more precise recommendations and more personalized services.</font></div>

This special issue seeks original papers that report novel ideas, models, theories, systems and applications regarding social media. We are particularly interested in the work leveraging the key technologies of big data and mobile computing.</font></div>
