RT Journal Article T1 A Reusable Methodology for the Instantiation of Social Recommender Systems A1 Quijano-Sánchez, Lara A1 Recio García, Juan Antonio A1 Díaz Agudo, María Belén AB Social recommender systems exploit social knowledge available in social networks to pro vide accurate recommendations. However, their instantiation is not straightforward due to its complexity. To alleviate this development complexity, we propose a methodology based on templates that conceptualize the behavior of such applications and can be reused to create several social recommender applications in social networks. This devel opment methodology comprises not only templates but also a generic architecture named arise and a collection of software components that provide the required functionality. We prove that our social templates speed up and facilitate the development process, and demonstrate the viability of our generic architecture in two di↵erent case studies.
