Call for Papers
June 11-12, 2018, Scotland, UK
IEEE is the Technical Co-Sponsor (TCS) of the International Conference on Social Media, Wearable and Web Analytics (Social Media 2018), an international refereed conference dedicated to the advancement of social media, security of social media and consequential impacts and risks due to compromise or security breaches. It covers economic importance of social media, the emergence of wearable, wearable for fitness, e-health and life style improvements, and the use of web analytics for social media enhancements, business intelligence and business empowerment.
With the wave of phishing attacks against celebrities, high profile government officials, and nationals on social media, this conference is timely. Most importantly, we seek recommendations, solutions and advice on ways, methods and techniques for protecting our digital society.
The aim of the Social Media 2018 is to encourage participation and promotion of collaborative scientific, industrial and academic inter-workings among individual researchers, practitioners, members of existing associations, academia, standardisation bodies, and including government departments and agencies. The purpose is to build bridges between academia and industry, and to encourage interplay of different cultures.
Social Media 2018 invites researchers and industry practitioners to submit papers that encompass principles, analysis, design, methods and applications. All submitted papers are independently peer-reviewed.
The conference proceedings will be submitted for consideration for publishing and listing on the following bibliographic indexes: IEEE Computer Society Digital Library, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, DBLP Computer Science, Scopus, CiteSeerX, Computer Science Index, EI Compendex, Academic Search Complete, CiteULike, Google Scholar & Microsoft Academic Search.
The organisers will accept registration of up to 5 IEEE UK&I Student and YP Members at 75% discounted rate, and will offer up to 20% registration discounts for all IEEE, BCS, IET & IISP members.

Invited Speakers
Professor Jens Myrup Pedersen – Aalborg University, Denmark
Jens Myrup Pedersen is Associate Professor at Aalborg University, Denmark. After finishing his M.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer science he did his PhD in the field of network planning, and through close collaboration with Danish ISPs the work developed into focusing on cyber security. Today his research is focusing mainly on security from a network point of view, and includes network-based detection of malicious activity using e.g. machine learning and DNS traffic analysis - still carried out in close collaboration with industrial partners. Together with his students he has been exploring the security weaknesses of a number of embedded and IoT devices, including demonstration of poor security in state-of-the art Industry 4.0 production lines. He is an active player in the development of cyber security educations in Denmark, and is currently leading the work of establishing a Danish National Training Platform. He has a strong interest in internationalisation of education and promotion of collaboration between students across countries and disciplines - an interest that has led to coordination of two Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships. In addition to his employment at Aalborg University he works as external lecturer at Riga Technical University, Latvia, he is board member in companies related to energy and infrastructure, and he also sits on the board of the Society of Telecommunications within the Danish Society of Engineers.
