A mobile tourist assistance and recommendation system based on complex networks

In recent years, the tourism assistance community is gradually shifting its emphasis to digital, interactive systems. Our project aims for digital tourism assistance by combining mobile guiding and route recommendation based on community networks. We use complex networks to tackle problems, such as deriving optimal routes in conjunction with knowledge deduced from our social tourist network, and giving a respectable prediction of which meta- and multimedia data about touristic objects are needed while the tourist is on tour. This article describes ongoing work on the recommendation system and mobile semantic replication strategies.
