SMTP
SMTP as an example…
It’s about communication
between two networked
entities…

& Routing
SMTP
• Any identity (email address, IP, url) can
communicate with any one else.
– Email, web, bittorrent, warcraft, skype…

To me personally, this is a typical
social spam.

The value of the “Social Network”
• Social Network has its own unique value in
facilitating human communication
• A concern about a network losing its “value”
– while we are unsure about how to quantify the
true value…
17
Don’t worry about the language…

Fighter’s Club
• A Coalition game ~ like Warcraft
• Team members who are Facebook friends
receive higher fighting powers
• ~1400 new friendships established daily
• ~10% of users with >95% friendships
purely based on this game.
20
Open Issues
• What is the “value” of this social network?
• How would this “value” be distributed and
allocated to each individual peers?
• MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn didn’t define
the “game” for network formation and value
allocation.
– But, it is important to design the game such
that the OSN will eventually converge to a
state to best support the communities.

BTW, this guy stole 24
millions dollars from me
during my DSL demo to
George Kesides!
23
Research Issues
• How to systematically leverage the Social
Network?
• How to architect the Social Network itself
such that its value can be protected?
• And, plus a few typical CS concerns
– Decentralization, Scalability, Privacy/Trust…

Just a couple issues …
• How to establish the social route?
– How would “A” know about “D” (or “D’s
identity”) ?
• How to maintain this “reputation network”?
– KarmaNet: A Feed-back Trust Control System

The Social Path(s)

Community
• A connected graph of social nodes sharing
a set of community attributes

Community Control:

Who should receive the keyword announcement for
“[email protected]”? Answer:
Who should receive the keyword announcement fot
“South Lake Tahoe Tournament”? Answer:

as the Social Peer
• Attributes:
– {McDonald’s Express, 640 W Covell Blvd, # D,
Davis, (530) 756-8886, Davis Senior High
School, Community Park, North Davis}
46
“Per-Keyword Policy”
• For each keyword, we will associate it with
a propagation policy: [T, N, A]
– T: Trust Value Threshold
– N: Hop counts left to propagate (-1 each step)
– A: Community Attributes
• Examples:
– [>0.66, 4, “Davis”] K via L1
– [>=0, ,  ] K via L2

47
Scalability & Controllability
• McDonald’s doesn’t want to flood the whole
network
– It only wants to multicast to the “Target set”
of customers
• And, it only wants this target set of users
being able to use that particular keyword
to contact.
– Receiver/owner controllability

DSL is an old idea!
A
And, I certainly don’t have the answer yet…
B
We, as human, have been using similar social
communication principles. Maybe it is a
good opportunity to re-think about our
cyber communication system.
Identity is a per-application, contextoriented, and sometime relative issue.
Forming cyber communities of interests for
application.
