The 4th International Workshop on Social Internet of Anything (SIoA’25)

In conjunction with WiMob 2025, Marrakech, Morocco, Oct 20-22, 2025

SIoA 2025 will take place at Marrakech, Morocco, on Oct 20-22, 2025, collocated with the 21th International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2025). WiMob 2025 is sponsored by IEEE and endorsed by IEEE ComSoc. All papers accepted by the workshop SIoA 2025 will be published in the WiMob 2025 Proceedings and will be included in IEEExplore.

Description

In the last few years, there has been a tremendous increase in mobile social communication systems. In particular, the synergic combination of emerging communication technology and the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has triggered the social networking paradigm applied to different contexts, ranging from more traditional networks to new emerging contexts, such as the Internet of Drones, Internet of Vehicles Internet of People, Digital Twins etc.

With this enlarged perspective, it is paramount to extend the social features application to “Anything”, declining the new paradigm of Social Internet of Anything (SIoA). This new concept may enrich wireless systems with new features and capabilities that derive from the intrinsic multidisciplinary nature of social networks, but at the same time, it may open them to new threats and vulnerabilities.

The main aim of this workshop is to lead to the widespread dissemination of innovative and unpublished research contributions on the important issues of SIoA provisioning, social networking and connectivity, social community detection and prediction, social ties, and hub nodes for communication networks, cross-layer design and inter-operability between communication networks and social networks.

This workshop is endorsed by the IEEE ComSoc Social Networks Technical Committee within the Special Interest Group Social Anythings.
