Pre-conditions:
Alice, Bob, and Charlie were invited to a party and decide to go. Yet, they do not know each other.
Description:
Parking:
Traffic in the city of Bersabon is awful, especially during rush hour. Due to the high number of cars, it is a nightmare to find a parking spot in the evening. Therefore, the city of Bersabon installed an intelligent parking space management system based on Hyperties. The system is notified, when a car leaves a parking spot and informs nearby cars that are currently searching for one. Alice is on her way home from work. It has been a long and stressful day and she has to find a parking spot for her car. She logs into the Hypertie-enabled parking spot system and sets her status to "searching for a spot". Based on her known address and her preferences, the system now starts looking for a free parking spot close to her apartment. Bob, who works nigh shifts, just got in his car to go to work. His Hypertie-instance notices that he left the parking spot and informs the system, which then choses one of the waiting cars based on their waiting time, preferences, and other contextual parameters. Alice is notified. She is offered help from a navigation system that guides her to the free spot.
Party:
Alice, Bob, and Charlie use a mobile application installed on their smartphones that collects contextual information. Based on the similar context, the Hypertie service automatically creates a virtual ad hoc community for communication and data exchange. Alice, Bob, and Charlie can now get information about each other as well (e.g. access a personal social profile) as for other members of the ad hoc community, whose identity is verified by the Hypertie system. A few days after the party, the ad hoc community is automatically deleted. Because Alice and Charlie got to know each other very well at the party, they stay connected, while connections to Bob are removed.
