## MOTIVATION AND RATIONALE
Today, Social Media are one of the main parts of daily life by affecting 
sociality, but they are also important channels through which 
information travels faster than ever. The rapid growth in popularity has 
opened new challenging problems which involve numerous fields in 
computer science. These issues have implications on social graph 
analysis, trust and security, and so on.
Moreover, privacy issues and the usage of mobile devices have opened new 
research fields in the design of decentralized online social networks, 
which can be considered one of the most important challenges. 
Furthermore, the current improvement concerning the study and the 
proposal of new approaches for Social Networks and Media involves not 
only complex network analysis, and, in particular, the decentralization 
of social services, but also the introduction of new AI solutions.
The workshop targets researchers, doctoral students, people from 
industry and other people interested in discussing, reflecting and 
networking on central themes associated with the development and the use 
of social networks.
