Abstract

Social networks like Facebook or MySpace have become very popular in recent years. The number of users visiting these networks on a regular basis is already very high and still increasing. The integration of users into such networks is typically achieved via web interfaces. In addition, modern mobile devices have been developed to support the “reachable everywhere” mentality. They feature up-to-date communication and web interfaces, offering the capacities of small computer systems. By combining these capacities with so-called mobile software agents, a seamless integration of users in on-line communities can be reached. This chapter highlights the potential of software agents for sophisticated interaction in ubiquitous, mobile applications by utilizing the example of social networks as a practical scenario.
