Dear All,
This is a very short notice, but I hope you will be able to join Dr. Ashad Kabir (https://researchoutput.csu.edu.au/en/persons/dr-ashad-kabir) of Charles Sturt University of Australia in talk on April 11 at 10 am. He will be talking about "socially aware pervasive mobile application", which may be interesting to many of you (details below).
Talk Title: Socially-Aware Pervasive Mobile Applications
Time: 10 am, April 11, 2018 Venue: DGP Seminar Room (BA 5187), 5th Floor, Bahen Centre Bahen Centre for Information Technology, 40 George Street, Toronto, ON
Abstract:
Pervasive Social Computing is a novel collective paradigm derived from pervasive computing, social media, social networking, social signal processing and multimodal human-computer interaction. It aims to take advantage of human social context to enable the fulfilment of users' task on the move, ultimately promoting individual well-being and social productivity. With the increasing prevalence and features of advanced mobile devices, interest has grown in socially-aware mobile applications, where the applications will be aware of users' social context and be able to assist them in their daily activities. The key requirements to develop such applications are modelling, managing and reasoning about users' social contexts. In this presentation, I will discuss a novel framework to address the challenges in developing socially-aware mobile applications. The framework includes an approach to model, represent, reason about, and manage different types of social context, and a platform for acquiring, storing, provisioning and managing social context information to aid the development of socially-aware mobile applications.
