Socially-aware Caching Sample Clauses

Socially-aware Caching. The Socially-aware Caching leverages the interaction between remote home gateways in a social way, i.e., by exploiting the users’ social networking information, so that caching recipients are those gateways whose users are most likely to be interested in accessing the shared content, as explained in [10]. The caching module operates on top of the DAM layer and is composed of a caching decision algorithm module which runs a background caching procedure by uploading selected content owned by home users to selected remote friend gateways, and a social information-gathering module. In the caching decision module, a low-complexity, distributed heuristic algorithm will be included, to match remote friends’ interests with the content to cache by leveraging typical social networks indicators, such as interests, hobbies and preferences of home users, and by having all personal digital data appropriately tagged. The module takes two different viewpoints: that of content owners who have data to share or cache and that of remote gateways which provides their own storage space for their social friends. From the viewpoint of content owners, not only do they wish to cache or restore the data as fast as possible, but, in the long run, they also wish that the remote gateway keeps the content for as long as possible. Therefore, content owners are naturally disposed to choose friends from whose gateways they can retrieve the cached items more quickly. Also, they would like friends to be interested in the content they upload, because such friends are more inclined to store it for a long time. At the receiving end, the remote gateway will devote its storage space for friends to maximize the whole benefit accounting for both its user’s interest and the bandwidth toward the content owner’s gateway. Although the caching decision algorithm module is running in the background, it still requires the home users to tag which content needs to be cached through the DAM interface. The module must also be able to gather the knowledge of content type tags by DAM APIs (such as an API_read_tag in resourceSpace). The other module used by the socially-aware caching functions is the social information-gathering module, which allows the gateway to interact with social networks. Clearly, given the specific characteristics of each social network, more than one module will have to be designed and implemented so as to be tailored to Online Social Networks.
