Go-myLife
In our increasingly dislocated and mobile society, online social network (OSN) sites are proving valuable in bridging distances and facilitating interaction and communications. Go-myLife will provide an OSN platform built around the needs of elderly people. ZSI is responsible for the exploration of the interaction patterns of seniors in OSN as well as for the evaluation and validation of the developed systems.
