Abstract

The popularity of handheld devices has created a ﬂurry of research activity into new protocols and applications that can handle and exploit the deﬁning characteristic of this new environment – user mobility. In addition to mobility, another deﬁning characteristic of mobile systems is user social interaction. This paper investigates how mobile systems could exploit people’s social interactions to improve these systems’ performance and query hit rate. For this, we build a trace-driven simulator that enables us to re-create the behavior of mobile systems in a social environment. We use our simulator to study three diverse mobile systems: DTN routing protocols, ﬁrewalls preventing a worm infection, and a mobile P2P ﬁle-sharing system. In each of these three cases, we ﬁnd that mobile systems can beneﬁt substantially from exploiting social information.
