A Friend Recommendation Scheme in Social Network Environments

In this paper, we propose a friend recommendation scheme that takes into consideration the attribute information of a POI and a user’s movement patterns. The proposed scheme broadly consists of a part that filters out other users who have different preferences by calculating preferences using the attribute information of users and a part that finds a moving trajectory close to that of a user with a pattern-matching scheme. To verify the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compare it with existing schemes through various performance evaluations.
