Abstract:
We present the SPORANGIUM platform that de- ploys sporadic social networks (SSNs) among people who happen to be in a common place, by establishing ad-hoc connections over their respective mobile devices. The idea is to boost interactions among strangers who might share common interests in places like museums, theatres and stadiums, taking care of multiple concurrent flows of information and enabling added-value ser- vices to efficiently manage those contents. This paper describes the simulator we have developed to validate the SSN concept in one of the application scenarios of SPORANGIUM, dealing with tourism information on behalf of the participants in a bus tour.
