Nowadays networked mobile devices have become a commodity in people's daily-life. According to a recent survey published by Walker Sanders, the percentage of web traffic coming from mobile devices has surpassed 30% in late 2013. 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 payment, highthroughput wireless data delivery, and location-based services, have received great attentions. In the 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. Not to mention those large-scale mobile-centric social network systems, such as WhatsApp, WeChat, Snapchat, and Swarm. For both of the academia and industry, how to utilize the emerging mobile technologies to help people's online social interactions has become a viable trend.
The 7th International Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale mObile computing and online Social neTworking (HotPOST 2015) 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. We highly encourage novel and innovative previously unpublished work.
The workshop organizers would like to thank all the authors for their contribution to HotPOST 2015. This year we have received ten submissions, and we have selected five of them for publication. In addition, we have four invited papers from top research groups around the world. Moreover, we are very pleasured to invite Prof. Keith W. Ross from New York University to give the keynote talk for HotPOST 2015.

Mobile phones, and more specifically smart gadgets, have known a rapid proliferation over the past years in terms of their adoption and usage. Their prices have also known noticeable declines making the ownership of a smart-phone at the ability of all ...
Privacy Preserving Social Tie Discovery Based on Cloaked Human Trajectories
Discovering social connections of people has become a flourishing research topic considering the rich social information inferable from human trajectories. Existing social tie detection methods often require exact locations of users, which cause serious ...
Characterizing the Spatio-Temporal Inhomogeneity of Mobile Traffic in Large-scale Cellular Data Networks
As the volume of mobile traffic has been growing quickly in recent years, reducing the congestion of mobile networks has become an important problem of networking research. Researchers found out that the inhomogeneity in the spatio-temporal distribution ...
Exploiting User Context and Network Information for Mobile Application Usage Prediction
The explosive increasing mobile Applications (Apps) have been attracting researchers and developers to investigate user preferences on various mobile Apps. Understanding mobile Apps usage pattern of end users will help to improve the quality of mobile ...
Video Highlight Shot Extraction with Time-Sync Comment
Benefit from abundance of mobile applications, portability of large-screen mobile devices and accessibility of media resources, users nowadays much more prefer to watch videos on their mobiles no matter whether they are at home or on the way. However, ...
Inter Action Time in Virtual and Physical Spaces: A Comparative Study
We examine the human behavior that determines the basic performance metrics of virtual and physical spaces. Using the measured data traces, we first study the distribution of inter-action-time between users. We find that the distribution in both cases ...
An Empirical Study of Human Altruistic Behaviors in Opportunistic Networks
The success of data forwarding applications in opportunistic networks (OppNets) primarily depends on the altruistic behavior of users who form the network. Therefore, a good study of user altruism is crucial in designing and building effective OppNets. ...
Evaluating the Influence of Social Selfishness on Cooperative D2D Communications
Cooperative D2D communication is an effective method to improve the throughput of regular cellular communications by choosing a relay device (RD) to help forward data to a non-relay device (NRD) who is supposed to receive information from the base ...
