11/17/2009Davis Social GEC6, Salt Lake City, Utah 13 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…

11/17/2009Davis Social GEC6, Salt Lake City, Utah 19 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.

11/17/2009Davis Social GEC6, Salt Lake City, Utah 21 Value of OSN How to leverage the value of Online Social Network in Computing/Communication? –Privacy/Confidentiality, Social Ranking How to architect the Social Network itself such that its value can be protected? –Trust and Reputation

11/17/2009Davis Social GEC6, Salt Lake City, Utah 22 Just a couple controversial points Both unique routable identity and global network layer connectivity are unnecessary and considered harmful! –Under OSN, identity is all relative. We don’t have globally unique IP addresses and the DNS process itself becomes social. –Less is More! –But, IP addresses and DNS won’t go away any time soon…

11/17/2009Davis Social GEC6, Salt Lake City, Utah 28 URI versus ADC URI (Unique Routable Identity) –We assume that our destination target is bound to an URI. –We assume that both the MAPPING (e.g., DNS) and ROUTING (e.g., BGP) are correct. ADC (Application Dependent Credential) –The lower layer (like search engine) will give us a few options to click. –The application (or the user) will then choose the one (or ones).

Maybe it is a good opportunity to re-think about our cyber communication system. Re-consider the current Internet architecture 1.Global Connectivity vs. Mutual Interest 2.Unique Routable Identifier vs. Application Dependent Credential AB AB F F F And, I certainly don’t have the answer yet…
