Abstract
Temporary social network has been a increasing popular field in the last few years where people form a temporary social group for a short time period with common interests or purposes in the same area. When a user attends an event or conference in a new city, he/she can join the temporary social networks with his/her social account. Users who attend the same academic conference or activity may have similar interests and time schedules, so they are willing to travel together. Recently, renting cars to travel has become very common, since it helps improve user experience as well as save travel costs (e.g., renting and oil costs). Thus, we propose a group-wise itinerary planning framework to minimize the travel costs for each user in a temporary social network. Experimental results conducted on real-world data sets confirm the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed framework.
