title = "VSSA: A service-oriented vehicular social-networking platform for transportation efficiency",
abstract = "This paper proposes a novel service-oriented vehicular social networking platform called VSSA for transportation efficiency. VSSA consists of two layers: service layer and application layer. The service layer is implemented based on the service-oriented architecture (SOA) to ease application developments. By extending and composing the web services in this layer, application developers can efficiently and flexibly develop different new functions or applications for transportation scenarios. The application layer is oriented to vehicular users and it integrates with functions of mobile social networks. With dynamic and automatic service collaboration support, it enables people to easily collaborate and help each other through their mobile devices in transportation situations. Moreover, VSSA provides a context-awareness mechanism to support automatically and intelligently predicting the potential incoming traffic congestions.",
