Managing community content in mobile communities is challenging, since informal groups may emerge spontaneously whenever opportunities exist. To deal with group dynamics, encounter based community support systems can be a solution. In encounter networks, peers exchange content whenever they physically meet, i.e., whenever peers are near to each other. To assure content availability within the community network, content needs to be replicated (cached) and continuously updated. A?well known drawback of this scheme is the fact that the resource usage can be quite high. In this paper we present new caching strategies based on sociological knowledge, aiming at improving the overall content quality. We derive mobility and connectivity aware cache policies and simulate their benefit for knowledge building with urban life simulations. Results show that context precision and recall can be greatly improved in comparison to traditional cache strategies applied in the majority of encounter networks.
