Abstract

The massive spread of small personal devices equipped with different radio technologies is enabling the formation of a heterogeneous wireless networking platform on top of which new mobile computing services are deployed to flexibly and ubiquitously reach a target user. With the emerging of ubiquitous wireless communications, mobile applications are becoming highly personalized and influenced by user location, mobility, social attitudes and interests, or, shortly, by his/her behavior. In this work, we propose a framework having the aim of capturing and allowing the modeling the multiple dimensions of the human behavior. In order to measure and perform a cross analysis of those dimensions, we briefly describe an Android-based application able to collect face-to-face encounters and online social relations of a certain set of users.
