Recommendation in Location based Social Network in an emerging research topic. Compare to conventional recommendation system there is much less research in this area. With the volume of user generated check-in data growing rapidly, it is important for business to tap onto these resources to help them grow their business and give them a further reach. This project will be focusing on implementing a Point-of-Interest (POI) recommendation system; the system will be hosted on a laptop and will be accessible to all users via the Internet. This report will focus specifically on the time-aware POIs recommendation system, which take into account other user check in time. We will be using data set from Foursquare, which will form the base of the implementation. The web framework used is Play Framework which provides easy integration with JAVA and MySQL. Play Framework will allow for quick debugging and rapid development. Finally, this report will show the result from the website and its POI recommendation result on a map. With this technology we hope to be able to give a more accurate recommendation to people who are looking for interesting places to go.
