Enhancing Social Media with Pervasive Features.

During the last decade, social media have enjoyed meteoric success in bringing people together online. On the other hand, pervasive computing assists users in their everyday tasks, in a seamless unobtrusive manner exploiting the resources available in the user's environments focusing on the needs of individuals. The time is ripe for the two paradigms to converge. This paper presents research work undertaken to integrate pervasive computing with various social computing systems, including enterprise social media, aiming to contribute to the emergence of the next generation of social media systems.
