Abstract EN
Sensor-equipped mobile devices have allowed users to participate in various social networking services.
We focus on proximity-based mobile social networking environments where users can share information obtained from different places via their mobile devices when they are in proximity.
Since people are more likely to share information if they can benefit from the sharing or if they think the information is of interest to others, there might exist community structures where users who share information more often are grouped together.
Communities in proximity-based mobile networks represent social groups where connections are built when people are in proximity.
We consider information influence (i.e., specify who shares information with whom) as the connection and the space and time related to the shared information as the contexts.
To model the potential information influences, we construct an influence graph by integrating the space and time contexts into the proximity-based contacts of mobile users.
Further, we propose a two-phase strategy to detect and track context-aware communities based on the influence graph and show how the context-aware community structure improves the performance of two types of mobile social applications.
