Social Networking for Pervasive Adaptation
(SOCIALNETS)

Abstract

• In this project we are looking at how to exploit
  the structures defined by human social
  relationships to develop and entirely new
  paradigm for adaptability in technology-rich
  pervasive information and communication systems.
• The behaviour of the human can be used to define
  and adapt a unique social structure between the
  mobile electronic devices.
• Social anthropology results merged with models
  of social networks structure will be exploited
  to design trustable and adaptive networking
  protocols and data management systems for
  pervasive information and communication
  environments.

Abstract

• Social Networking for Pervasive Adaptation
  will
• Investigate and understand dynamics of human
  social relationships and structures.
• Develop the mechanisms and protocols for the
  electronic social networking paradigm and
  validate it from the technological standpoint,
  that is, its technical feasibility, effectiveness
  and scalability.
• Develop and validate the social mechanisms and
  protocols to assert reinforce appropriate trust
  and security in dynamic situated environments
• Develop and validate the social mechanisms and
  protocols to acquire and provide user-relevant
  data situated knowledge in pervasive technology
  rich environments using social networks.
