Social Agents to Enable Pervasive Social Networking Services

Abstract: Over the past decade, the way people communicate, share content and eventually conduct business has been disrupted by social networking platforms. By bringing together pervasive social computing with social networking under a common modelling methodology and common social rules based on hu...
