Mobile computing has changed people's daily-life in recent years. According to a recent survey published by comScore, the percentage of web traffic coming from mobile devices has surpassed 60% in 2014. To serve users from all over the world, a number of global (or planet-scale) mobile systems and applications have been launched. Several new technologies, such as mobile cloud networking, wearable computing, mobile payments, high-throughput wireless data delivery, and location-based services, have received great attention. Meanwhile, by attracting more than one billion users worldwide, online social networks (OSNs) provide a new venue of innovation with many challenging and practical research problems. In particular, more and more social network systems have expanded to mobile platforms, including those large-scale mobile-centric social networking systems, such as WhatsApp, WeChat, Momo, Snapchat, Skout and Swarm. For both academia and industry, how to utilize the emerging mobile technologies to help people's online social interactions has become a viable trend.
The 8th International Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale mObile computing and online Social neTworking (HotPOST 2016) is organized with the goal to bring researchers working on the intersection of mobile and OSN together to present and discuss their latest research results and ideas, thereby promoting the development and evolution of this area.

Straight: stochastic geometry and user history based mobility estimation
5G is envisioned to support scalable networks and improved user experience with virtually zero latency and ultra broadband service. Supporting unlimited seamless mobility is one of the key issues and also for network resource utilization efficiency. In ...
A first view on mobile video popularity as time series
With the rise of mobile video streaming service, video popularity has drawn a great deal of attention in both academia and streaming industry. In this paper, we present a novel view of video popularity as time series. We collect more than two billion ...
Leveraging contact pattern to predict future contact pattern in mobile networks
With advances in the Internet and mobile technology, and decreasing cost of mobile devices, large scale pervasive networks are now ubiquitous in solving many earlier service limitations. Here, the challenge lies in its underlying temporal graph. It ...
Enhancing opportunistic networking using location based social networks
The wireless communication capabilities of mobile devices have evolved rapidly during the last decade. Exploiting the various connectivity technologies available devices are capable of forming intermittently connected networks; in these networks, ...
Asynchronous reputation systems in device-to-device ecosystems
Advances in Device-to-Device (D2D) ecosystems have brought on mobile applications that utilise nearby mobile devices in order to improve users' quality of experience (QoE). The interactions between the mobile devices have to be transparent to the end ...
WI-FAB: attribute-based WLAN access control, without pre-shared keys and backend infrastructures
Two mainstream techniques are traditionally used to authorize access to a WiFi network. Small scale networks usually rely on the offline distribution of a WPA/WPA2 static pre-shared secret key (PSK); security hence relies on the fact that this PSK is ...
Analyzing social relations for recommending academic conferences
Recommender systems are used to filter through vast amounts of items and recommend those that potentially have the highest relevance for the user. Recently, research dealing with recommendations in academia increased. In this paper, we analyze to what ...
Optimal advertisement allocation in online social media feeds
We study the problem of optimal native advertisement placement in the social media post feed of a user. A feed, or timeline is a set of displayed posts such as news, updates, photos, videos. There exist fundamental differences between native and ...
Using conflict-free replicated data types for serverless mobile social applications
A basic reason for backend systems in mobile application architectures is the centralized management of state. Mobile clients synchronize local states with the backend in order to maintain an up-to-date view of the application state. As not all mobile ...
Opinion dynamics on online-offline interacting networks: media influence and antagonistic interaction
The interplay between online social media and offline traditional media plays a fundamental role on the dynamics of public opinions. In this work, we investigate how online social individuals and offline traditional media communicate with each other, up ...
