Mobile online social networks have gained tremendous momentum in the recent years due to both the wide proliferation of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets as well as the ubiquitous availability of network services. Moreover, the positioning technologies such as GPS, and Wireless localization techniques for mobile devices have made both the generation and sharing of real-time user location updates readily available. This, in turn, leads to the extreme popularity of location-aware social networks such as Foursquare, which boast up to hundreds of millions of users. Location-aware mobile social networks represent a promising Cyber-Physical System (CPS), which connects mobile nodes within a local physical proximity by using mobile smart phones as well as wireless communication. As a valuable complement to web-based online social networking, location-aware mobile social networks allow mobile users to have more tangible face-to-face social interactions in public places such as bars, airports, trains, and stadiums . Profile matching is more than important for fostering the wide use of mobile social networks because finding the nearby individuals of the similar interests is always the first step for any social networking.
