Title: Building
Smart Social Systems
Abstract:
One of the most challenging problems in human society is to
connect needs of people to appropriate resources efficiently,
effectively, and promptly.Availability of enormous volumes
of heterogeneous Cyber-Physical-Social (CPS) data streamsallowsdesign
and implementation of networks to detect situations with little
latency. In fact, in many cases it may even be possible to
predict situations well in advance. This opens up new opportunities
in designing smart social systems for specific tasks. Such
systems are very useful for many important problems at local
as well as regional and even global level. Such systems offer
many novel challenges to researchers in big data, multimedia,
networking, and social computing. We present an approach towards
building social life network that are first step towards such
smart social systems. In particular, EventShop can be used
to input and process heterogeneous data streams for we situation
recognition and availability of resources; while Personal
EventShop can be used to build Personicles and identify evolving
personal situations and needs. This can then be used for connecting
needy people with appropriate resources. This approach has
been tested with several simple applications. In addition
to the technical approach, its implications for emerging societal
applications will be discussed.
