报告摘要（ABSTRACT）：

Availability of enormous volumes of heterogeneous geo-spatial data streams offer a great opportunity for addressing some important societal problems, which require addressing several interesting challenges. Heterogeneous data streams generated by social media, sensor networks, internet of things, and digitalization of transactions may allow design and implementation of networks to connect people with other people and essential life resources. We call these networks Social Life Networks (SLN). This is the right time to focus efforts to discover and develop technology and infrastructure to design and build these networks and to apply them for solving several essential societal problems to help people in their everyday life as well as during abnormal situations. A person needs to be connected to appropriate resources under the given situations. Situations in a SLN should be detected by using heterogeneous data streams. We are building a software framework for situation recognition and determining personal context to connect people to resources efficiently, effectively, and timely. This is only the very first step in connecting people to needed resources using SLN. We will discuss our ideas and present our research in situation recognition, EventShop, and making connections.
