TLDR
This work identifies three societal grand challenges that are likely to drive future research in social computing and elaborate on how the middleware community can help address them.Abstract:
Social computing broadly refers to supporting social behaviours using computational systems. In the last decade, the advent of Web 2.0 and its social networking services, wikis, blogs, and social bookmarking has revolutionised social computing, creating new online contexts within which people interact socially (social networking). With the pervasiveness of mobile devices and embedded sensors, we stand at the brink of another major revolution, where the boundary between online and offline social behaviours blurs, providing opportunities for (re)defining social conventions and contexts once again. But opportunities come with challenges: can middleware foster the engineering of social software? We identify three societal grand challenges that are likely to drive future research in social computing and elaborate on how the middleware community can help address them.read more

Torwards context-aware mobile crowdsensing in vehicular social networks
Xiping Hu,Victor C. M. Leung +1 more
TL;DR: A novel application-oriented service collaboration (ASCM) model is introduced which can automatically match multiple users with multiple mobile crowd sensing tasks in VSNs in an efficient manner and a context information management model is proposed that aims to enable the mobile community sensing applications to autonomously match appropriate service and information with different users (requesters and participants) in crowdsensing.

MiddleWhere: a middleware for location awareness in ubiquitous computing applications
TL;DR: MiddleWhere as discussed by the authors is a distributed middleware infrastructure for location that separates applications from location detection technologies and enables the fusion of different location sensing technologies and facilitates the incorporation of additional location technologies on the fly as they become available.

Decomposing power measurements for mobile devices
Andrew Rice,Simon Hay +1 more
TL;DR: This measurement framework is the first to be seen which can produce fine-grained, annotated traces of a phone's power consumption and is designed to develop an understanding of how particular aspects of an application drive energy use.

TL;DR: It is reported on how, by combining a variation of experience sampling and contextual interviews, a notion of context in relation to privacy, which is subjectively defined by emerging socio-cultural knowledge, functions, relations and rules, is started.
