This paper focuses on social cloud formation, where agents are involved in a closenessbased conditional resource sharing and build their resource sharing network themselves. The objectives of this paper are: (1) to investigate the impact of agents’ decisions of link addition and deletion on their local and global resource availability, (2) to analyze spillover effects in terms of the impact of link addition between a pair of agents on others’ utility, (3) to study the role of agents’ closeness…

Externalities in Socially-Based Resource Sharing Network
TLDR
It is shown that network density is inversely proportional to positive externalities, and further, it plays a crucial role in determining the kind of externalities.
A Social Compute Cloud: Allocating and Sharing Infrastructure Resources via Social Networks
TLDR
This work presents a social compute cloud where the provisioning of cloud infrastructure occurs through “friend” relationships and illustrates how social networks can be leveraged in the construction of cloud computing infrastructures and how resources can be allocated in the presence of user sharing preferences.

TLDR
This paper model the selfish behavior of the users supplying resources and aiming to maximize their own benefits, and compute the performance of the resulting non-cooperative equilibrium, and rigorously proves that the resulting protocol provides significant improvements in terms of the social welfare compared to existing social cloud systems.
Externalities and stability in social cloud
TLDR
A pairwise resource (or pairwise service) sharing social network model is presented to explore the interdependence between social structure and resource (service) availability for an individual user or player and investigates effects of social structure on individual resource availability.
Incentivising Resource Sharing in Social Clouds
TLDR
This work utilizes the socio-economic model proposed by Silvio Gesell to demonstrate how a "virtual currency" could be used to incentivise sharing of resources within a "community" and demonstrates the benefit provided to participants within such a community using a variety of economic and technical metrics.
Formation of Stable and Efficient Social Storage Cloud
In this paper, we study the formation of endogenous social storage cloud in a dynamic setting, where rational agents build their data backup connections strategically. We propose a…
Social Cloud: Cloud Computing in Social Networks
TLDR
This paper outlines the vision of, and experiences with, creating a Social Storage Cloud, looking specifically at possible market mechanisms that could be used to create a dynamic Cloud infrastructure in a Social network environment.
Social Cloud Computing: A Vision for Socially Motivated Resource Sharing
TLDR
This paper defines Social Cloud computing, outlining various aspects of Social Clouds, and demonstrates the approach using a social storage cloud implementation in Facebook.
Foundations of Trust: Contextualising Trust in Social Clouds
In this paper, we lay the foundations for a contextualisation of trust, the role it plays, and its different layers within the context of a novel paradigm: Social Cloud Computing. In a Social Cloud,…
Co-operative Infrastructures: An Economic Model for Providing Infrastructures for Social Cloud Computing
TLDR
This paper defines a formal economic model for a co-operative infrastructure in the context of a socially oriented platform and analyzes the model with respect to its feasibility and scalability and demonstrates in several scenarios that the co- cooperative approach does not only have advantages over dedicated infrastructures, but also is a particularly suitable model for providing core infrastructure in social (computing) platforms.
