The combination of ubiquitous and social computing is an emerging
esearch area which integrates different but complementary methods,
echniques and tools. In this paper, we focus on the Ubicon platform,
ts applications, and a large spectrum of analysis results.

bicon provides an extensible framework for building and hosting applications
argeting both ubiquitous and social environments. We summarize the
rchitecture and exemplify its implementation using four real-world
pplications built on top of Ubicon. In addition, we discuss several
cientific experiments in the context of these applications in order
o give a better picture of the potential of the framework, and discuss
nalysis results using several real-world data sets collected utilizing
bicon.

Communities are a central aspect in the formation of social interaction networks. In this paper, we analyze the evolution of communities in networks of face-to-face proximity. As our application context, we consider four scientific conferences. We compare the basic properties of the contact graphs to describe the properties of the contact networks and analyze the resulting community structure using state-of-the-art automic community detection algorithms.
ecifically, we analyze the evolution of contacts and communities over time to consider the stability of the respective communities. In addition, we assess different factors which have an influence on the quality of community prediction. Overall, we provide first important insights into the evolution of contacts and communities in face-to-face contact networks.

The connection of ubiquitous and social computing is an emerging research
rea which is combining two prominent areas of computer science.
n this paper, we tackle this topic from different angles: We describe
ata mining methods for ubiquitous and social data, specifically
ocusing on physical and social activities, and provide exemplary
nalysis results. Furthermore, we give an overview on the Ubicon
latform which provides a framework for the creation and hosting
f ubiquitous and social applications for diverse tasks and projects.
bicon features the collection and analysis of both physical and
ocial activities of users for enabling inter-connected applications
n ubiquitous and social contexts. We summarize three real-world
ystems built on top of Ubicon, and exemplarily discuss the according
ining and analysis aspects.
