“…Similarly, the software running on the local mobile devices can collect information and then publish the relevant information to the external websites. Nevertheless, it is a challenge to preserve the user's privacy while minimizing battery consumption in the mobile device, since such devices usually have limited energy supplies [161]. In addition, it is possible for the mobile devices to collect data from their surroundings, in order to detect social interaction patterns by getting information from sensors deployed in vehicles or other mobile devices [162].…”

Mobile social networks (MSNs) have become increasingly popular in supporting many novel applications since emerging in the recent years. Their applications and services are of great interest to service providers, application developers, and users. This paper distinguishes MSNs from conventional social networks, and provides a comprehensive survey of MSNs with regard to platforms, solutions, and designs of the overall system architecture. We review the popular MSN platforms and experimental solutions for existing MSN applications and services, and present the dominant mobile operating systems on which MSNs are implemented. We then analyze and propose the overall architectural designs of conventional and future MSN systems. In particular, we present the architectural designs from two perspectives: from the client side to the server side, and from the wireless data transmission level to the terminal utilization level. We further introduce and compare the unique features, services, and key technologies of two generations of architectural designs of MSN systems. Then, we classify the existing MSN applications and propose one special form of MSN -vehicular social network, and demonstrate its unique features and challenges compared to common MSNs. Finally, we summarize the major challenges for on-going MSN research and outline possible future research directions.

“…In this context, research especially focuses on identifying users' OSN design requirements. Many studies also focus on OSN design for special purposes such as emergency management (Babu & Singh, 2013;Chou et al, 2011;Plotnick, White, & Plummer, 2009;Zagaar & Paul, 2012). Zagaar and Paul (2012), for example, examine the knowledge sharing behavior of cancer survivors to identify success factors for an online health community, while Babu and Singh (2013) conducted an explorative field study to investigate OSN design improvements for blind persons.…”

Over the last decade, online social networks have evolved into a global mainstream medium with increasing social, organizational, and economic impact. This paper provides a structured overview of Information Systems research on this outstanding techno-social phenomenon of the 21 st century via a structured literature review. Based on our search in information systems journals and conference proceedings that resulted in 510 papers, we carve out and assess the knowledge and the research fields that have been predominantly addressed and impacted by the information systems research community so far. Moreover, we identify research gaps that future research should address. We analyze how the academic discussion on online social networks developed in the information systems literature over time, which publication outlets are most receptive to research on online social networks, which research areas have already been covered by information systems research on online social networks, and what potential future research areas exist that have not been covered by information systems research yet. We hope that our results will stimulate and guide future research in this field.

With the advancement of wireless communication and portable devices, mobile users not only access information ubiquitously, but also use mobile devices for business transactions. Users exchange location, preferences and purchase details for discounts and privileges, in commercial applications. Mobile applications for educational purposes have plausible prospects. Applications for an educational gaming purpose, a classroom management control, a reference tool and an online study group can be developed. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) aim to bring education to the entire world online, with access to university level courses, thereby promising a quality educational experience. This paper presents the concept applied in M-Commerce transactions, wherein a real time mobile application for an educational portal is developed, to enable e-learning in a wireless environment. It utilizes an Android platform for learners to access and refer online study materials, test themselves through mobile devices, and view their evaluation results. Consequently, intra and interdepartmental group analyses are generated, for assessment by academic heads. It also provides an opportunity to improve students' performance, for enlightening themselves intellectually and for sharing the knowledge gained among peers. This proposed model could be implemented as a MOOC across groups of institutions, interactive study forums and networking communities.
