In this paper, we tackle this topic from different angles: We describe data mining methods for ubiquitous and social data, specifically focusing on physical and social activities, and provide exemplary analysis results. Furthermore, we give an overview on the Ubicon platform which provides a framework for the creation and hosting of ubiquitous and social applications for diverse tasks and projects. Ubicon features the collection and analysis of both physical and social activities of users for enabling inter-connected applications in ubiquitous and social contexts. We summarize three real-world systems built on top of Ubicon, and exemplarily discuss the according mining and analysis aspects.}, address = {Washington, DC, USA}, author = {Atzmueller, Martin and Becker, Martin and Doerfel, Stephan and Kibanov, Mark and Hotho, Andreas and Macek, Björn-Elmar and Mitzlaff, Folke and Mueller, Juergen and Scholz, Christoph and Stumme, Gerd}, booktitle = {IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing, CPSCom 2012, Besançon, France, 20-23 November, 2012}, interhash = {a2695fd9fe6e76b252edbd42d72b34ad}, intrahash = {90847b1d969ac1ed1f4c8d7146416619}, publisher = {IEEE}, title = {Ubicon: Observing Social and Physical Activities}, year = 2012 } @article{mitzlaff2012relatedness, abstract = {As a result of the author's need for help in finding a given namefor the unborn baby, nameling, a search engine for given names, based on data from the ``Social Web'' was born. Within less than six months, more than 35,000 users accessed nameling with more than 300,000 search requests, underpinning the relevance of the underlying research questions. The present work proposes a new approach for discovering relations among given names, based on co-occurrences within Wikipedia. In particular, the task of finding relevant names for a given search query is considered as a ranking task and the performance of different measures of relatedness among given names are evaluated with respect to nameling's actual usage data. We will show that a modification for the PageRank algorithm overcomes limitations imposed by global network characteristics to preferential PageRank computations. By publishing the considered usage data, the research community is stipulated for developing advanced recommendation systems and analyzing influencing factors for the choice of a given name. }, author = {Mitzlaff, Folke and Stumme, Gerd}, interhash = {31f7605431c35592afa50e7a377ce999}, intrahash = {63b13ff16093202c535e5aaac107e567}, journal = {Human Journal}, number = 4, pages = {205-217}, publisher = {Academy of Science and Engineering}, title = {Relatedness of Given Names}, url = {http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/pub/pdf/mitzlaff2012relatedness.pdf}, volume = 1, year = 2012 } @inproceedings{mueller-2012, abstract = {The connection of ubiquitous and social computing is an emerging research area which is combining two prominent areas of computer science.
