The
SocialFusion project in mobile social networks at
the University of Colorado at Boulder's Department
of Computer Science seeks to conduct ground-breaking
research in mobile systems, social networks,
networking privacy/anonymity, data mining, mobility,
user interfaces, mobile cloud infrastructure, and
context-aware computing. The
SocialFusion Project fuses together location-aware
mobile networks, sensor networks, and context-aware
social networks to enable a new generation of exciting
mobile cloud applications that are personalized to
your location, activities, preferences, and friendship
relationships. Some examples of context-aware
applications we have built and deployed include:
- OutWithFriendz, an Android
and iPhone app that enables us to study how
groups of mobile users make decisions about
where to go out for lunch/dinner and when
- SocialFlicks, which
combines an iPhone user's personal location with
the user's Facebook profile to play video on a
nearby screen customized to the preferences of
that user, and
- a context-aware music
jukebox, which plays songs you want to hear when
you walk into a room.
- SocialDining, which
recommends restaurants to groups of mobile
users/friends
- RescueMe, which provides
mobile augmented reality to guide users within
buildings in emergency evacuation situations,
such as fires
- An augmented reality
mobile application to facilitate healthy grocery
shopping
- A danger-sensing mobile
application called myBlackBox that is customized
for individuals and provides warning
notifications whenever it senses danger
We
are building the SocialFusion infrastructure to
support context-aware mobile cloud computing.
We also are building novel applications on top of
SocialFusion to demonstrate the power of
context-aware mobile cloud computing.
Prof. Han summarized our thoughts in the talk "Towards
Context-Aware
Computing
Via
the Mobile Social Cloud" at the June 2010 Microsoft
Research
Networking
Summit
on Mobile Cloud Computing in Seattle,
Washington.
