I-Corps: Proximity - Let the Cloud Help you !!

研究人员正在开发一种网络基础设施产品，该产品使用智能手机应用程序与基于云的对应程序相结合，在一天中提供有关用户周围人员和地点的实时信息。该技术使用实时语义分析和模糊逻辑，仅向用户呈现用户可能感兴趣或有益的人和地点的属性。在该项目的过程中，研究人员计划开发一个能够处理大量短消息的框架，这些短消息可以在短时间内处理，并创建一个基于云的基础设施来执行实时语义配置文件匹配，以处理所有注册到网络的用户创建的工作负载。研究人员还计划设计网络架构和协议，以便在相对较小的空间位置以最小的干扰促进来自多个用户的潜在大量数据的通信。人们经常发现自己在专业和社交场合都是一大群人，例如，在会议、购物中心、机场和体育赛事中。这些群体中的一些人可能有相似的专业、社会和/或课外兴趣，这些知识可能对所有人都有益。例如，一个研究人员可以找到一个潜在的合作者，一个商人一个潜在的客户，一个学生一个室友等等。这项技术有可能使各行各业的人与周围的人建立新的、有意义的关系，从而潜在地影响社会和职业环境中的人际网络模式。

Researchers are developing a cyber-infrastructure product that uses a Smartphone application in conjunction with a cloud-based counterpart to provide real-time information about people and places surrounding a user during the course of the day. This technology uses real-time semantic analysis and fuzzy logic to present the user with only the attributes of people and places that are of potential interest or benefit to the user. During the course of this project researchers plan to develop a framework capable of handling large volumes of short messages that can be processed in a short time and create a cloud-based infrastructure to perform real-time semantic profile matching to handle the workload created by all users registered with the network. Researchers also plan to design network architecture and protocols to facilitate the communication of potentially large amounts of data from multiple users with minimal interference in a relatively small spatial location.People often find themselves in large groups in both professional and social settings, for example, at conferences, shopping malls, airports, and sporting events. Several people in these groups might share similar professional, social, and/or extracurricular interests and such knowledge could be beneficial to all. For instance, a researcher could find a potential collaborator, a businessperson a potential client, a student a room-mate and so on. This technology has the potential to enable people from all walks of life to establish new, meaningful relationships with others in their vicinity, thereby potentially impacting the human networking paradigm in both the social and professional context.
