Special Issue on “Social Networks and Interdisciplinary Approaches”
International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering (IJCSE)
Social networks have played an important role in various domains for
around a decade, and have been particularly involved in a broad range
of social activities such as user interactions, establishing
friendships and relationships, sharing and recommending resources,
suggesting friends, creating groups and communities, commenting on
friends’ activities and opinions, and so on.
In recent years, rapid progress has been made in the study of social
networks for diverse applications, such as user profiling in Facebook
and group recommendations via Flickr. Today, smart handheld devices
are very popular; many applications were developed for Google Android
platforms and for the iPhone system.
Future research trends will be focussed on combining handheld devices,
social networks, web services and sensors applications.
