Social networks are perhaps the purest example of "Web 2.0" services, and offer a sophisticated tool for accessing the preferences and properties of individuals and groups. Thus, they potentially allow up-to-date, richly annotated contextual data to be acquired as a side effect of users' ev- eryday use of the services. In this paper, we explore how such "social sensing" could be integrated into pervasive systems. We frame and survey the possible approaches to such an integration, and eventually discuss the open issues and challenges facing researchers. Identifying the potentials of social sensing, emphasiz- ing its peculiarities with respect to more traditional means of sensing, and overviewing some (non perva- sive) successful stories of social sensing exploitation. Analyzing and classifying the different architectural approaches that can be adopted to integrate social sens- ing and pervasive computing. We show that it is not only possible to exploit social networking tools as sources of social data for pervasive infrastructures, but also to adopt them as infrastructures to facilitate the integration of pervasive and social sensing. Surveying, according to the proposed classification, a number of representative proposals and applications from the literature. Introducing and analyzing a number of challenging re- search issues to be faced towards the systematic ex- ploitation of social sensing in pervasive computing. |
