Serendi: A Location Aware Social Networking Platform

 

Serendi is a location-aware social networking platform under development. Instead of creating a totally new SNS, Serendi focuses on providing location-awareness and higher-configurability to existing SNSs as an add-on service. Serendi extracts meta-data such as network-linkage from existing SNSs to construct a highly configurable meta level SNS data. Also, location data is extracted from user devices to provide location-awareness. Serendi integrates location data with meta-level SNS data to create a highly configurable location-aware social networking platform with enhanced location privacy.

Serendi is funded by Information Technology Promoting Agency (IPA) of Japan as part of the Mito Software Project. If you have any questions please contact udana at mlab dot t dot u-tokyo dot ac dot jp. Thank you
