@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. 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{mitzlaff2014social, abstract = {Applications of the Social Web are ubiquitous and have become an integral part of everyday life: Users make friends, for example, with the help of online social networks, share thoughts via Twitter, or collaboratively write articles in Wikipedia.

Their large user communities and ever-growing networks of user-generated content have made them an attractive object of investigation for researchers from different disciplines like Social Network Analysis, Data Mining, Information Retrieval or Knowledge Discovery. In this paper, we summarize and extend our work on different aspects of this branch of Web 2.0 research, demonstrated and evaluated within our own social bookmark and publication sharing system BibSonomy, which is currently among the three most popular systems of its kind. We structure this presentation along the different interaction phases of a user with our system, coupling the relevant research questions of each phase with the corresponding implementation issues. This approach reveals in a systematic fashion important aspects and results of the broad bandwidth of folksonomy research like capturing of emergent semantics, spam detection, ranking algorithms, analogies to search engine log data, personalized tag recommendations and information extraction techniques. We conclude that when integrating a real-life application like BibSonomy into research, certain constraints have to be considered; but in general, the tight interplay between our scientific work and the running system has made BibSonomy a valuable platform for demonstrating and evaluating Web 2.0 research.}, address = {Berlin / Heidelberg}, affiliation = {Knowledge & Data Engineering Group, Research Center for Information Systems Design, University of Kassel, Wilhelmshöher Allee 73, 34121 Kassel, Germany}, author = {Benz, Dominik and Hotho, Andreas and Jäschke, Robert and Krause, Beate and Mitzlaff, Folke and Schmitz, Christoph and Stumme, Gerd}, doi = {10.1007/s00778-010-0208-4}, interhash = {57fe43734b18909a24bf5bf6608d2a09}, intrahash = {c72ed831e0d752eb3613f90e45c71c44}, issn = {1066-8888}, journal = {The VLDB Journal}, keyword = {Computer Science}, number = 6, pages = {849-875}, publisher = {Springer}, title = {The social bookmark and publication management system bibsonomy}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00778-010-0208-4}, volume = 19, year = 2010 }
