Social pervasive systems: The harmonization between social networking and pervasive systems

摘要

The recent advancement in mobile device sensor technology, coupled with the wealth of structured accessible data of social networks, form a very data-wealthy ecosystem. Such an ecosystem is rich in bi-directional context that can flow between the mobile and social worlds enabling the creation of an elitist breed of pervasive services and applications. We label the breed resulting from the merger as Social Pervasive Systems (SPS).
