Eventually, the aim of our digital platform is to enhance the quality of people's life leveraging on the most important aspect for every human being: the relationship network.
Questa tesi è un primo passo verso un grande obiettivo: lo sviluppo di un Event-Based Social Network centrato sull'utente. Questo sarà possibile grazie a un sistema di raccomandazioni in grado di suggerire persone con cui partecipare a eventi pubblici o privati. L'idea principale è quella di trasformare il traffico online in relazioni offline attraverso un'innovazione di design nel campo degli EBSNs. In particolare, il modello proposto aiuterà le persone a migliorare la propria vita sociale, tramite un sistema di raccomandazioni in grado di fornire informazioni personalizzate sulle persone e sugli eventi in cui sarebbe possibile incontrare tali persone. Lo sviluppo di una piattaforma di questo tipo cambierebbe in modo distruttivo il paradigma delle interazioni digitali. L'obiettivo di fondo che ci ha guidato nell'ideazione della piattaforma proposta è quello di migliorare la qualità della vita delle facendo leva sull'aspetto più importante per ogni essere umano: la propria rete di relazioni.

Abstract
This thesis is the first step towards a big objective: the developing of a user-centered Event-Based Social Network (EBSN) leveraging on a recommendation system able to suggest people with whom attend public or private events. The main idea is to transform online traffic into offline relationships through a design-driven innovation into the EBSN field. Moreover, the proposed model automatically investigates new possibilities to help people finding higher satisfactory states, providing both the information about people around and events where it would be possible to meet them. A user-centered approach would disruptively change the digital interactions paradigm. This is possible not only because of the rise of new technologies, both software and hardware oriented but also because people's need of getting connected is not completely satisfied by actual social networks. Therefore, our proposal would allow people to build and join specific communities according to their particular interests and attitudes, through both individual actions and customized platform stimuli. Eventually, the aim of our digital platform is to enhance the quality of people's life leveraging on the most important aspect for every human being: the relationship network.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
