ABSTRACT
Geo-social information can be utilized for user benefits in many applications. Social interaction in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is an important source for this type of information. In this paper, we first propose and describe a general architecture of the social VANET system (S-VANET) that supports social interaction through vehicular networks. Then, we present a new carpooling recommendation system that works as S-VANET application. The main objective is to recommend individuals to join their friends during trips or travels. The proposed recommendation system uses check-in history and home location to model users, and utilizes Fast Fourier transform to represent user check-ins and find the similarity between users. The system uses hierarchical clustering with weighted center of mass method to estimate the user home location.

iGSLR: personalized geo-social location recommendation: a kernel density estimation approach
SIGSPATIAL'13: Proceedings of the 21st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information SystemsWith the rapidly growing location-based social networks (LBSNs), personalized geo-social recommendation becomes an important feature for LBSNs. Personalized geo-social recommendation not only helps users explore new places but also makes LBSNs more ...
Location-based and preference-aware recommendation using sparse geo-social networking data
SIGSPATIAL '12: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information SystemsThe popularity of location-based social networks provide us with a new platform to understand users' preferences based on their location histories. In this paper, we present a location-based and preference-aware recommender system that offers a ...
