MobiDew: Socially-Aware Data Management for Mobile Users

The authors propose the use of social knowledge in data management and delivery for mobile users. They built MobiDew, the socially-aware data management service, in Mobius. Mobius builds a two-tier infrastructure: a Mobile (wireless) human-centric tier, which runs mobile applications and collects geo-social context information; and a peer-to-peer (wired) system tier, which runs services on user-contributed resources in support of mobile applications and adapts to user's geo-social context to enable energy-efficient, secure, and reliable mobile applications.
