-The application layer includes several core applications which are currently available in the framework such as flock and profile editors, and several users applications such as //I rate you// (IR8U) that allows users to ask proximate users to rate them on a certain subject, and //Guanotes//. The Urbiflock's core is composed of three main facilities specially designed to enable social interactivity and deal with the highly dynamic environment to which mobile devices exposes them: flockr, user profile and the TOTAM framework for flock communications.

The Urbiflock's core is composed of three main facilities specially designed to enable social interactivity and deal with the highly dynamic environment to which mobile devices exposes them: flockr, user profile and the TOTAM framework for flock communications.
 The infrastructure layer consists of three low-level abstractions on which the framework core is based: a RETE engine which orchestrates the flock composition, and the service discovery and communication APIs to discover and communicate with nearby applications, respectively.

 ==== Target Platforms ====
-Rather than building a platform-independent framework, our aim is to assist in the rapid development of pervasive social networking applications. The Urbiflock framework has been entirely written in the AmbientTalk language. As such, no configuration is required to be able to quickly script new applications on it once AmbientTalk is running on the target platform.
