DeSN 2016 - 2nd Workshop on Decentralized Social Networks

Mobile devices and social networks have become privileged communication and data
sharing means today. Their growing use and evolution bring new challenges and
practical research problems, especially on partially or fully decentralized
social networks. New algorithms, protocols, services, applications, middleware
supports, incentive mechanisms, privacy models, and collaborative and
recommendation techniques must be devised and proposed for such user-centric
systems.
The goal of the DeSN 2016 workshop is to serve as a forum for researchers or
professionals from both academia and industry to exchange new ideas, discuss new
solutions, and share their experience in the design, implementation, analysis,
experiment or measurement related to decentralized social networks.
