Seven issues in shape of questionsSeven issues in shape of questions
• Which are the most useful social parameters that a map representation can efficiently communicate to the users?
• How can individual parameters be integrated and interpolated to visualize a (possibly evolving) social ‘mood’ of the network?
• Can the map facilitate the human use of the net?• Which is the role of thematic versus metaphorical maps in
dealing with people physical and emotional neighborhood? • How can novel visualization and interaction techniques improve
the user perception of the social environment?• How is the development of context-aware and ubiquitous
systems contributing to improve the map based interaction to discover and access social services?
• Which are the privacy concerns related to the representation of the social environment?
