Disclosure Management in Context-aware Mobile Social Awareness Systems

The underlying assumption behind our conceptual framework is that CAMSAS is capable of acquiring user’s personal information at finest level of detail. The goal of PDMA is to empower subjects (i.e. users which personal information is about) to determine which subset of their personal information is to be made available to recipients. In other words, the central notion of this construct is transformation of “known to the system” to “disclosed to recipients” on “need to know” basis determined by none other than the subject per se. The transformation process is illustrated in the Fig. 1.
