Framework for building intelligent mobile social applications

Published: 26 March 2012 Publication History

Abstract

The use of online social networks (OSN) has been a reality for some years now. If OSN users have mobile devices and they are taken into account, every day a vast amount of information is spontaneously generated, creating opportunities for researchers and developers to use, for example, artificial intelligent techniques to explore similarities between friends, to recommend content and to come up with business opportunities. Additionally, OSN and mobile devices can be put together to explore user context to tailor services according to the user environment. However, to apply ubiquitous computing and artificial intelligence to OSN can be cumbersome and resource-consuming. Thus, this paper presents a framework to develop intelligent applications on top of existing OSN, helping developers to explore similarities between the users and recommend content, using user context and simple information present on OSN, without compromising resources present in mobile devices. At the end, this paper shows how to develop new applications using the framework exploring user context and semantic concepts defined by the developer.
