User-centric CPS computing on “Syrian Revolution” modeling and tracking
User is becoming an important computing terminal.
Kleiner Perkins Caufield and
Byers (KPCB) has summarized the technology development on computing in the past
decades, and envisioned the coming cycle of wearable computing in the “Internet
Trend Report 2013.”

From mainframe computing to mobile internet computing,
and wearable computing, we see that computing has an obvious decentralized trend.
With the development of wearable technology, the personal computational capability
has boosted correspondingly. Under these circumstances, we see another direction
of user-centric social multimedia computing as combined with pervasive computing:
social multimedia computing offers techniques and theories on content understanding
and user modeling, and pervasive computing offers resource configuration solutions
and the application scenarios.
