There will be six deliverables in this project. They are listed as follows:
* A Mobile Social Networking Framework
In this framework, it includes several major components to be built to make mobile content sharing in the Personal Content Web (PCW) possible. They are listed as follows:
+ A PCW formation framework that includes leveraging relationships built from IM network, public social networking services, ad hoc group, etc.
+ A framework that allows the users to manage their contents, such as formulating content indices for searching, assigning access permissions, etc.
+ A location-triggering engine that triggers search queries to one’s PCW friends based on locations.
+ The necessary modules built at the client side to support NAT traversal.
The mobile social networking client based on this framework will be implemented on three mobile platforms, namely, Android, Symbian and iPhone.
* A content management tool
A tool will be developed for the users to select, de-select, and organize the contents to share, and determine whom to share the contents with. This content management tool will be available as a stand-alone client on the Android platform, as well as in form of web pages on Windows PC or other mobile devices.
* A Location-triggered content pushing software
The location-triggered software will be available on the client side, and enabling of pushing of contents to the mobile client based on where it is located. This deliverable also includes server support of this feature.
* Infra-structure support NAT
There will be several approaches to deal with accessing contents inside a home NAT, including manual pin-hole punching at one’s home router, UPnP, media-relay, etc. We will first investigate these three options and implement the one that would offer the most natural user experience, not only for tech-savvy users but also for non-tech users.
* Explore business opportunities with multiple customers
The technologies developed in this project are targeted for licensing to multiple customers, such as service providers and mobile device vendors. The potential business partnerships that ASTRI will explore include service providers that will offer this type of service, and device vendors that will incorporate this social networking function in their product offerings.

在互联网领域，社交网路是网络用户中的新一代的潮流应用，特别在新生代用户中更为流行。如Facebook，MySpace，Flick，YouTube之类的互联网服务成为网络上最热门的网址，其主要原因就是这些服务为互联网用户提供了一种新机制以创建和共享内容，完美的契合了Web 2.0的模式。 在此项目中研发的技术，即移动社交网络框架，主要目的就是为社交网络增加移动性的新元素。此框架使得社交网络不再局限于家中的PC之上，而是扩展到了移动装置上，从而令用户可以在任何时间和任何地点进行社交网络的活动。社交网络的一个颠覆性的手段就是在既有的互联网架构之外实现对社交网络活动的支持，这将导致一个重要的模式转变，即社交网络活动和分享活动能够以非集中的方式完成。
