Diaspora Mapping and Collaboration Platform for Expatriates

Abstract

In the current globalized world, it is a frequent phenomenon that people from different regions uproot and move to other countries, working and living there temporarily or long-term. But how could the origin regions follow the actual residency of their habitants, and how could they keep the data of the population up to date? The aim of the E-migrated web application is to measure and dynamically visualize the dispersion of specialists originating from a given country. It also gives the opportunity of interconnecting these people and to create a community, encouraging its users to build relationships and cooperate. It is a virtual link for the professionals originating from a common region, independent of current location. This paper aims to present the E-migrated platform, describing the architecture of the system, mentioning the details of the implementation, the main technologies, tools and methods used during the development process. It presents the functionalities of the application, and demonstrates its behavior, using some case studies.
