Abstract

In recent years the research area of social mobile and networking technologies has made rapid progress, due to the increasing development of new mobile technologies and the widespread usage of the Internet as a new platform for social interactions. Social applications of mobile and networking technologies serve groups of people in shared activities, in particular geographically dispersed groups who are collaborating on some task in a shared context An important characteristic of those social applications is the continuous interaction between people and technology to achieve a common purpose Again social applications tend to be large-scale and complex, involving difficult social and policy issues such as those related to privacy and security access.
