Preface

With the rapid development of mobile communication technologies and the ever-increasing population of users, mobile social network (MSN) has become an emerging paradigm of the next-generation network. The basic tenet of MSNs is that mobile users can form communities at any time and anywhere to exchange information with each other based on their interests, social tie, social activities, etc. Therefore, MSNs can facilitate a myriad of attractive applications related to social and communication services, including content delivery, community activities, and infotainment. Due to the advance of social applications, it is necessary for MSNs to provide quality of experience (QoE), which poses new challenges of modeling and optimization in MSNs as follows: (1) there is a huge amount of information to be disseminated over MSNs. The characteristics of users during information dissemination should be studied including the so
