论文摘要
鉴于集中式社交网络中侵犯用户隐私的数量越来越多，人们对分散的在线社交网络（DOSN）定义有效平台的需求得到了深刻的感觉。过去提出了有趣的解决方案，该解决方案拥有必要的机制，以允许用户控制其个人信息并设置规则以规范其他用户的访问。不幸的是，由于具有共同兴趣的不同用户社区可以彼此脱节/分离，因此这种类型的解决方案的有效性大大降低了。这转化为有效地向所有感兴趣的用户传播共同兴趣数据的能力，因为它目前发生在集中的社交网络中。为了克服引用的限制，本文提出了一种破坏性的方法，该方法利用具有自主社会行为和认知能力的新物联网设备（IoT）设备的可用性。这些设备可以用作与DOSN平台连接并具有相同兴趣的设备所有者之间的友谊中间人。我们将证明，在人类之间分布式社交网络中有兴趣的到达节点的百分比增加（一种特定的交付比率）可以实现明显的优势，并且使用所谓的中介对象增强，这些中介对象遵守众所周知的社交Iot（Siot）范式。
In light of the growing number of user privacy violations in centralized social networks, the need to define effective platforms for decentralized online social networks (DOSNs) is deeply felt. Interesting solutions have been proposed in the past, which own the necessary mechanisms to allow users keeping control over their personal information and setting the rules to regulate the access of other users. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of this type of solutions is severely reduced by the fact that different user communities with a shared interest could be disconnected/separated from each other. This translates into a reduced ability in effectively spreading data of common interest towards all interested users, as it currently happens in centralized social networks. In order to overcome the cited limitation, this paper proposes a disruptive approach, which exploits the availability of a new class of Internet of Things (IoT) devices with autonomous social behaviors and cognitive abilities. Such devices can be leveraged as friendship intermediaries between devices' owners who are connected to a DOSN platform and share the same interest. We will demonstrate that clear advantages can be achieved in terms of increased percentage of Interested Reachable Nodes (a specific measure of Delivery Ratio) in distributed social networks among humans, when enhanced with so called Mediator Objects adhering to the well-known social IoT (SIoT) paradigm.
