Framework for Ubiquitous Social Networks

This paper presents a novel framework for ubiquitous social networks (USNs). Instead of making virtual connections, on the basis of human social networks, an effort has been made to facilitate interactions among human social networks with the help of virtual social networks. The imperative domains that support ubiquitous social networks are highlighted and different scenarios are provided to project real world applications of proposed framework. Our proposed framework can provide preliminary foundations for creating “ubiquitous social networks” in true essence. Keywords– Ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous social network, ubiquitous wearable computers, social networks, wearable computers, mobile ubiquitous computing.
