Social event management system: users’ recommendations

Abstract

Social meetings and events pose a major part in Brazilian culture and have great importance throughout various interaction contexts: from daily neighborhood social activities to workplace relations. In a country well known by its festivities, to gather people, from small parties to huge events, can bring a certain social impact. Since the beginning of the 3rd wave of computing, the use of digital apparatuses and social medias became gradually part of the Brazilian social processes and directly affect their daily social life and work [1]. Technology has been changing social behavior and the way people interact with each other, with less direct interaction, but never the less connected. This research is part of the project “RatatApp”, a system to help organize collaborative events that can encompass multiple administrators and manage multiple events, users, schedules and finance. Although the whole research comprises many phases, this paper presents the high fidelity prototype-testing phase.
