Paper Abstract:
|
In recent years, middleware for mobile social network has attracted the attention of academia, causing the design and development of various approaches by researchers. This type of middleware facilitates and makes more efficient the development process of mobile social networking applications. Furthermore, middleware solutions also abstract the communication process with others applications, allowing the acquisition, persistence and reuse of social context information and location of users, besides providing API so that developers can access this information quickly and build new social applications. With a view to supporting this new trend of research, in this paper we propose a middleware architecture for mobile social networking called My-Direct which will make use of Wi-Fi Direct as a solution to improve the connectivity between the nodes of the social network. Along with My-Direct also will be created a mechanism for user privacy, since the mobile device should allow social activities only among friends. |
