 UrbiFlock is a framework sculpted for the development of //pervasive social network applications//: an emerging type of applications that enable spontaneous interactions of people by means of handheld devices (such as their cell phones). These applications exploit the colocation of a number of mobile devices in the proximity to enable social interaction //on the move//.  UrbiFlock is a framework sculpted for the development of //pervasive social network applications//: an emerging type of applications that enable spontaneous interactions of people by means of handheld devices (such as their cell phones).

 Users can also build applications and plug them into the Urbiflock framework. Several core applications are currently available in the Urbiflock framework, such as flock creators and profile viewers. The framework also counts with two user applications //I rate you (IR8U)// that allows users to ask proximate users to rate them on a certain subject, and //Guanotes// that allows user to send message to each other.   Users can also build applications and plug them into the Urbiflock framework.

 The Urbiflock framework has been 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.  The Urbiflock framework has been written in the AmbientTalk language.
