From then on the flockr sees the application in a launch screen (similar to the Home screen on the Apple iPhone). Running applications have controlled access to flockr information via the framework such as the flockr profile. This is a common functionality found in a range of social networking applications. text/html 2008-09-05T09:49:58+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://soft.vub.ac.be/amop/uf/design?rev=1220608198&do=diff [:uf:diagram.jpg] text/html 2009-11-18T12:53:01+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://soft.vub.ac.be/amop/uf/flock?rev=1258548781&do=diff Flock A flock is a list of Flockrs defined in terms of a characteristic function that determines which users belong to the flock. The list changes dynamically as the input to the characteristic function changes (e.g. because of buddies joining, leaving, updating their profile, being added or deleted). text/html 2009-11-30T15:49:04+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://soft.vub.ac.be/amop/uf/flockr?rev=1259596144&do=diff Flockr A flockr represents a user in the framework. A flockr has exactly one profile and can create and be registered to multiple flocks. In addition, a flockr can have multiple installed applications. A flockr is also the gateway that remote parties can use to get information about the user. text/html 2009-11-18T14:12:32+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://soft.vub.ac.be/amop/uf/guanotes?rev=1258553552&do=diff Guanotes The concept Guanotes application allows flockrs to post notes, called guanotes, to the ambient ( i.e any device available in the surroundings ranging from other flockr device to devices installed on public places such as KK).

They are highly extensible and besides a number of mandatory fields, flockrs can add as many custom fields as they like. For example, users could add a field with their year of graduation and use it to create a flock of nearby flockrs which graduated the same year. Furthermore, the framework provides some infrastructure that makes it easy to add new custom data types without having to write too much boiler plate code. text/html 2009-11-30T15:42:32+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://soft.vub.ac.be/amop/uf/proximities?rev=1259595752&do=diff Characteristic Function A characteristic function is a filter object that contains a “function” that determine whether or not a user is proximate.

TOTAM adopts features of both federated tuple spaces and replication-based approaches: it combines replication of tuples for read operations while guaranteeing atomicity for remove operations. In TOTAM, tuple spaces are annotated with tuple space descriptors used to determine the scope of a tuple.
