What
was the epistemic aims in (1) Class Activity One (individual work) and (2)
Class Activity Two (group work)? Is there any change in epistemic aim? If so,
why did you change your aims?
Aim 1 is to acquire
true, justified beliefs.
Aim 2 is to avoid false
ones and combine them.
Sure there are some
changes, I adopts members’ opinions and enlightened by them.
Is
there any differences in terms of individual and group epistemic cognition,
how?
Yes
The former is mainly for Epistemic aims and
Values.
The later is mainly for the reliability.
How
did you approach to the problem individually and in group, respectively? Is
there any differences in the processes involved?
When tackling
individually, I only think of the questions themselves and the common
Applications in Social Webs.
But in group, they make
me think of the ‘人肉’ and others aspects.
Sure there are some
differences, which making us know the importance of cooperation. One can not
think of all aspects.

can include the two docx files as evidences; you can also write any other
things that you want to reflect and share from these two activities)

Social Cloud Computing: A Vision for Socially
Motivated Resource Sharing
Digital relationships between individuals are becoming as
important as their real world counterparts. For many people social networks
provide a primary means of communication between friends, family and
co-workers. The increasing ubiquity of social network platforms is evidenced by
their rapid and ongoing growth. For instance,
Facebook has over 500 million active users of which 50% log on every day.
Users are more likely to trust information from a
“friend” if the digital relationship between the two is based on a real world
relationship (friend, family, colleague) rather than a purely online
relationship (second life, online games, etc). As relationships within online
social networks are at least partly
based on real world relationships, we can therefore use
them to infer a level of trust that underpins and transcends the online
community in which they exist.
This implicit trust along with the application of
socially corrective mechanisms (incentives, disincentives, capital) inherent in
social networks can also be applied to other domains. In fact, social
networking platforms already provide a multitude of integrated applications
that deliver particular functionality to users, and more significantly, social network credentials provide authentication in many diverse domains, for example many sites support Facebook Connect as a trusted
authentication mechanism.
Like any community, individual users of a social network
are bound by finite capacity and limited capabilities. In many cases however,
other members (friends) may have surplus capacity or capabilities that, if
shared, could be used to meet the fluctuating demand. A
Social Cloud leverages pre-existing trust relationships between users to enable
mutually beneficial sharing within the context of a social network. It is important to note that sharing within
a Social Cloud is not representative of point-to-point exchanges between users, rather it represents multi-point sharing
within a whole community group. We now define a Social
Cloud explicitly as:
A Social Cloud is a resource and service
sharing framework utilizing relationships established between members of a
social network.
The resources exchanged need not be symmetric and can
represent vastly different capabilities. A cloud-based usage model is used to
enable virtualized resource sharing through service-based interfaces.
The potential application scenarios that benefit from
Cloud models are immense (from scalable web
servers through to data intensive scientific applications). The point of difference of a Social Cloud is that applications can also
leverage the relationships between users to deliver shared asymmetric services
– leading to several potential Social Cloud application scenarios:
A Social Computation Cloud: It is widely recognized that
extensive computing power remains untapped through personal computers. The use
of a Social Cloud provides an infrastructure from which users can easily
contribute computing resources to friends, companies or scientific communities
(similar to a volunteer computing project).what’s the meaning of
this ?
A Social Storage Cloud: Storage is perhaps the simplest
and most standardized resource for everyday users to share and utilize in a
Social Cloud. Online data storage is commonly used to store, backup, share and
replicate data. One obvious use for Social Storage is
storing and sharing photos. While most social networks
already store photos, the burden for hosting them could be moved from the
network provider to their members to increase scalability and reduce
infrastructural requirements. The security implications are limited as photos
are typically already shared with friends.
A Social Collaborative Cloud: increasingly collaborations
are turning to social networking concepts to share information and resources
within diverse user communities, for example MyExperiment.org and nanoHub.
Similar functionality can be realized using dynamic Social Clouds deployed in
existing social networks. Storage services can be used to store/share data and
information (for example academic papers,
scientific workflows, datasets, and analysis)
while computation (or specific scientific
services such as workflows) can be used to execute
scientific applications. A Social Cloud approach is advantageous as there is no
requirement for dedicated infrastructure or management, fewer barriers to entry
for new communities, and users can utilize existing social network accounts.
A Social Cloud for Public Science: The Social Cloud is an
ideal basis on which to create the next iteration of volunteer computing –
primarily for solving scientific problems of community interest. There are many
examples of such projects run as volunteer computing problems under the
Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC), such as SETI,
Rosetta, Docking, etc., and these projects have been able to leverage massive
computing power from donated resources. The Social Cloud for Science can do
this in a more accessible way and leverage a larger population base, using
different resource provider groups to determine share delegation, finer grained
resource control, the integration of social capital, reputation, and social incentives.
This approach can lower the entry barriers to the donation or (temporal)
trading of computing power, and can indeed be utilized for more highly
cooperative structures between research groups, small organizations and forge
mutually constructive scientific communities.
An Enterprise
Social Cloud: a Social Cloud may be configured differently, depending on the
community it serves. It is increasingly common for organizations to have a
social network presence, for example many companies, universities and schools
all have public social network profiles. This presents an opportunity for large
scale users to form specialist enterprise Social Clouds. From a provider’s
perspective the benefits are twofold: not only do they gain access to a pool of
resources when required they may also benefit from the social rewards of
sharing – for example enhancing brand awareness and increasing public
perception of the organization.
Questions:
- A Social Cloud is a resource and service sharing
framework utilizing relationships established between members of a social
network.
The social network is at
least partly based on real world relationships.It do have different type like Enterprise, public
science, collaborative, and covers computation and storage.
The resources exchanged need not be symmetric and can represent vastly
different capabilities. A cloud-based usage model is used to enable virtualized
resource sharing through service-based interfaces.
A Social Cloud leverages pre-existing trust relationships
between users to enable mutually beneficial sharing within the context of a
social network.
Question 2:
Social Cloud application
scenarios:
· An Enterprise Social Cloud
· A Social Cloud for Public Science
· A Social Storage Cloud
· A Social Collaborative Cloud
· A Social Computation Cloud
I think, maybe furture login system is developed, we can
access the web with one and only one password. The Social Cloud Application
covers every need in user systems
Also, what we can see usually, games and interesting questionnaire
The potential application scenarios that
benefit from Cloud models are immense (from scalable web servers through to
data intensive scientific applications).
The followings are the top 5 applications that are most possibly developed
in near future.
.
I want to ask a question. I want to know
what’s the difference between the A Social Storage
Cloud and Social Collaborative Cloud? Both of them can store or share/store
photos or data.
i think Social Storage Cloud and Social Collaborative Cloud is different,
because the Storage focused on Storage and Collabortive focus on collaborative.
what’s the meaning of the “volunteer
computing” in paragraph 8? Is it a new term?
I THINK IT IS RELATED TO OPEN SOURCE AND ANYONE CAN
CONTRIBUTE TO THE SOCIAL COMMUNITY.
How to tackle with network violence such as ‘人肉’?
