The combination of ubiquitous and social computing is an emerging
research area which integrates different but complementary methods,
techniques and tools. In this paper, we focus on the Ubicon platform,
its applications, and a large spectrum of analysis results.
Ubicon provides an extensible framework for building and hosting applications
targeting both ubiquitous and social environments. We summarize the
architecture and exemplify its implementation using four real-world
applications built on top of Ubicon. In addition, we discuss several
scientific experiments in the context of these applications in order
to give a better picture of the potential of the framework, and discuss
analysis results using several real-world data sets collected utilizing
Ubicon.
