Forschungsberichte der Fakultät IV – Elektrotechnik und Informatik Revisiting Content Availability in Distributed Online Social Networks

چکیده
Online Social Networks (OSN) are among the most popular applications in today’s Internet. Decentralized online social networks (DOSNs), a special class of OSNs, promise better privacy and autonomy than traditional centralized OSNs. However, ensuring availability of content when the content owner is not online remains a major challenge. In this paper, we rely on the structure of the social graphs underlying DOSN for replication. In particular, we propose that friends, who are anyhow interested in the content, are used to replicate the users content. We study the availability of such natural replication schemes via both theoretical analysis as well as simulations based on data from OSN users. We find that the availability of the content increases drastically when compared to the online time of the user, e. g., by a factor of more than 2 for 90% of the users. Thus, with these simple schemes we provide a baseline for any more complicated content replication scheme.

In this paper we summarize the findings of our investigation on security issues of Short Message Service (SMS) clients on mobile phones. We realized that firmware updates will not be available on a large scale and thus see filtering of SMS traffic as the only possible counter measure against large scale attacks based on SMS messages. This paper presents our ideas on filtering SMS features by th...

In this technical report we study the transformation of models in the context of algebraic graph transformation and triple graph grammars. The new contribution of the report is to define and analyze the transformation of model fragments in general and the propagtion of graph constraints in particular. With the borrowed context we developed a technique further to the model transformation with tr...

We re-visit Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and provide a novel interpretation thereof in terms of weighted class means and scatter theory. The gained theoretical insight can be translated into a highly efficient extension to multi-class SVMs: mScatter-SVMs. Numerical simulations reveal that more than an order of magnitude speed-up can be gained while the classification performance remains large...

Organizational models play a key role in today's enterprise modeling. These models often show up as partial models produced by people with di erent conceptual understandings in a usually decentralized organization, where they are modeled in a distributed and non-synchronized fashion. For this reason, there is a rst major need to organize partial organizational models within a suitable modeling ...

The development of Internet technologies enables software developers to build virtual worlds such as Massively Multi-Player Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs). The population of such games shows super-linear growing tendency. It is estimated that the number of Internet users subscribed in MMORPGs is more than 22 million worldwide [1]. However, only little is known about the characteristics of ...
