Abstract

This paper presents a Bluetooth-triggered friend-of-a-friend (FOAF) presence notification application as a means to improve the accuracy of social graphs detected via mobile networks. By checking for common contacts between co-present users, it both introduces users who are not already acquainted, and improves the accuracy of the detected social graph.
