Motivation:

● There are many instances happening around the world wherein people have to start being part of new society and need to interact with new people.

● The social network is an integral part of every individual today and it tends to grow.

● In this project, we are trying to improve the social network developing rate by recommending people of similar interests to users using Middleware and Web technologies.

● we call it “interest” based social networking or FNB (Find New Buddy)

System Work Flow:-

• The clients/customers who desire to use the web-service we provide, need to create an account to avail our service.

• While account creation the client will fill the login credentials and lot of personal information (some are optional).

• Further upon the client’s request we use this personal information and help to find people who match their interests.

Recommendation-Flow● Get the user interests that are stored in database and also interest data of

other people which acts as the raw data for the clustering algorithm.

● We are using K-means clustering algorithm.

● Initially the value of K is equal to the number of different interest dimensions of which we got information from the user.

● In later part, we plan to change the value of K dynamically based on the user feedback and correlation between different interest options

• Studied the web-service design in jsp and also data storing in My-SQL DataBase

• Locally implemented the basic design of the web-service.

• We have designed login-page, SignUp-page, Personal Details entry page.

• We have connected this service with the local My-Sql server to store information.

• We studied the working of the machine learning algorithm and its implementation

and have successfully incorporated the algorithms in the web-service to provide refined searches.

• Currently our top priority goals are to deploy this web-service on amazon EC2

instance so that all people can access this service.
