Online social networks(OSN) are very popular nowadays. As OSNs grows, the commercial markets are expanding their social commerce by applying Influence Maximization. However, in reality, there exist more than two players(e.g., commercial companies or service providers) in this same market sector. To address the Influence Maximization problem between adversaries, we first introduced Influence Maximization against the social adversaries' problem. Then, we proposed an algorithm that could efficiently solve the problem efficiently by utilizing social network properties such as Betweenness Centrality, Clustering Coefficient, Local Bridge and Ties and Triadic Closure. Moreover, our algorithm performed orders of magnitudes better than the existing Greedy hill climbing algorithm.

This study aims to examine factors influencing the intention to continue using the metaverse, focusing on the impact of social norms. Specifically, direct and indirect effects of technical characteristics (perceive quality, interactivity, perceived playfulness), user characteristics (self-efficacy, personal innovativeness), and social influence factors (descriptive norm, injunctive norm, subjective norm) on continuous use intention were examined. The role of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness as a mediator was also examined. An online survey was conducted with 165 college students attending universities in two large cities in South Korea who had used the metaverse. As a result, perceived playfulness, descriptive norm, and perceived usefulness directly influenced continuous use intention. Perceived playfulness, interactivity, and subjective norm influenced continuous use intention indirectly through perceived usefulness. This study theoretically extends the Technology Acceptance Model by specifying social influence in metaverse contexts.
