NSF Workshop on Social Networks and Mobility in the Cloud
 February 23, 2012 - February 24, 2012
  http://dmlab.cs.umn.edu/SocialMobileCloud/index.html

General information
"Social network, mobility and the cloud represent special and unique
 opportunities for synergy among several existing and emerging
 communities that are now often evolving in isolated silos. .....
 ....The potential for cross fertilization among these three areas
 of important research will drive much of the research in academia,
 and the products in industry. It is therefore critical
 that researchers develop a coherent vision for these new directions
 to address a set of diverse topics including designing and
 developing algorithms for large-scale query analysis of mobile
 and social data on the cloud, designing a cloud-based transactional
 model for mobile and social network applications, data storage
 in the cloud, security and privacy of mobile and social network
 applications on the cloud, and addressing the unique characteristics
 of both mobile and social network applications, e.g., data streaming
 and spatial data, on the cloud environment."
