===1.Give Me a Ride===
this app intends to be useful for someone who wants to announce his or her extra ticket information, especially for those who has bought one weekend ticket for five persons but only find one or two people to travel with. And others who need those tickets can just find and book by this windows phone app.
Additionally this app also provide notification functionality for users who didn't find any adorable ticket info. they will receive a toast message when there is ticket satisfying their requirement.

| Imagining that you can store your photos and videos remotely on phones of your trusted friends when your own phone is short of storage, and imagining that you can make some files on your phone accessible to your friends by only marking these files as "shared", in this project, you are expected to develop such an application to enable Windows Phones of your own and your friends to form a network of shared storage by exploiting various cloud services from Microsoft, e.g., Relay and Rendezvous Services enable one Windows Phone to access another via some replay point in the cloud, which seem to be the best fit for the implementation of this application.

| [http://www.omegle.com/ Omegle] is a website via which strangers worldwide can talk with each other anonymously. Anonymous chat can also be implemented in a location-based fashion, i.e., people can be enabled to chat anonymously with others who are physically nearby. In this project, you are expected to develop such a location-based anonymous instant-messaging application for Windows Phones. You can leverage various cloud services from Microsoft to select co-located strangers to form one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many conversations. This application can also be extended to exchanging files between strangers and video chat if strangers are willing to see eath other.

| Decentralize Twitter by Content-Centric Networking
| A Cloud-Enabled Mobile Content-Based Image Retrieval Application ([https://wiki.net.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/wiki/Hawaii_Summer_2011 Hawaii])

| Social Network Service (SNS) such as Twitter suffers from server performance bottlenecks, central point of failure and malicious attacks due to the centralized architecture. Besides existing work (e.g., PeerSon, Safebook, etc.) of building decentralized SNS on top of P2P overlay, Content-Centric Networking (CCN) can achieve efficient content cache and dissemination and therefore provide an alternative to construct decentralized SNS. Leveraging CCN, this project is to decentralize Twitter in a peer-assisted fashion where messages (i.e., tweets/statuses) are disseminated by CCN among users and the Twitter server is only used as a messages backup. A Twitter client application is expected to be implemented in the context of CCN and built over the open-source CCNx implementation.

|The team will develop a cloud-enabled Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) application for Windows Mobile platforms using the cloud as corpus rather than a local database. The application will have mobile interfaces which allow Windows Mobile users to access such service. Users can use their Windows Live ID to set up some preferences (such as preferred image size, search domain, etc) associated with the ID.

| The team will develop an application which allows users to photograph/speak/input the name of a tour attraction and then invoke the cloud OCR/speak-to-text services and search engines to discover and share the information about this attraction. Users can write on the electronic-wall created for the attraction to share information. Users can also invite people who also visited the same attraction to be friends, get other people's comments or leave their own ones on this attraction, and recommend this attraction to other people.

| In social networks, people sharing same interests or public pages, which construct interest graph. This kind of interest orientated graph can not only create a valuable exchange for intermation commerce, but also improve how people learn, discover, share and communicate. It provides a new path of content sharing. Interest graph is "interest" objected. People may not know each other but sharing same interest can be in a same interest graph. We provide you a interested based dataset to analyize the interest graph. It includes the interest graph construction, interest graph degree, distribution, and the correlation between interest graph and social graph.

| A Location Based Community Organizer ([https://wiki.net.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/wiki/Hawaii_Summer_2011 Hawaii])

| [http://http://www.facebook.com/places/][http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/hawaii/students/]
| The team will develop a location based community organizer, similar to Facebook places. The idea is to share your location and activity with communities within your social contacts. If two members of a community are close to each other with regards to their location, the application will trigger events, which allow setting up meeting points, sharing contents (e.g., ratings for nearby places), etc.

| Build an application that is able to rank you based on the frequency with which you visit a place. E.g., if you are the most frequent visitor to
the university Mensa for a month, you will obtain the title major, the second most visitor would get the title Major's wife and etc.
