Vehicular Social Networks: A survey
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Computer Weekly News -- Current study results on Pervasive and Mobile Computing have been published. According to news originating from Dalian, People’s Republic of China, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, “A Vehicular Social Network (VSN) is an emerging field of communication where relevant concepts are being borrowed from two different disciplines, i.e., vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) and mobile social networks (MSNs). This emerging paradigm presents new research fields for content sharing, data dissemination, and delivery services.”
Funders for this research include Natural Science Foundation of China, Natural Science Foundation of Liaoning Province, China, Dalian Science and Technology Planning Project, US National Science Foundation.
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Dalian University of Technology, “Based on social network analysis (SNA) applications and methodologies, interdependencies of network entities can be exploited in VSNs for prospective applications. VSNs involve social interactions of commuters having similar objectives, interests, or mobility patterns in the virtual community of vehicles, passengers, and drivers on the roads. In this paper, considering social networking in a vehicular environment, we investigate the prospective applications of VSNs and communication architecture. VSNs benefit from the social behaviors and mobility of nodes to develop novel recommendation systems and route planning. We present a state-of-the-art literature review on socially-aware applications of VSNs, data dissemination, and mobility modeling.”
According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Further, we give an overview of different recommendation systems and path planning protocols based on crowdsourcing and cloud-computing with future research directions.”
