Abstract :
A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is becoming a practical platform for pervasive social networking. People chat with each other via MANET for instant social activities. How to help mobile users to build up trust in such an environment is becoming an important issue. We develop a reputation system for pervasive social networking. We implement it by applying Nokia N900 smartphones as MANET nodes based on a distributed energy-efficient social networking platform. Our system can indicate each user´s local reputation during chatting. It also provides detailed reputation information and supports on-chat voting and afterwards voting. This demo paper introduces the system design and its principal functionalities.
