Project Goals

• Development of novel abstractions for dynamically creating and managing transient social networks based on criteria such as location, resource and sensing requirements; and adapting the social graph due to mobility, disconnections, dynamic join/leave by participants, and changes in power and resource availability.
• Novel programing models and runtime systems, which are both resource-aware and context-aware.
• Development and deployment of novel transient social network applications and conducting in vivo studies of the system support from the point of view of adaptability, scalability, and usability.
