Abstract

During the last years, Social Networks have been in the spotlight of many researchers, trying to enhance them with pervasive features that will simplify and facilitate users’ experience. One of the most innovative additions to social networks has been the introduction of communities in users’ lifecycle. However, there are still a lot of issues regarding the automation of this feature in order to minimize user’s effort to discover new communities and as a result, to improve his experience. In this paper, we introduce the use of communities in location-based social networks. We also present the proposed systems architecture including Processes and Services.
