Today, the cloud means a revolution within the Internet revolution. However, an oligopoly sustaining the cloud may not be the best solution, since ethical problems such as privacy or even transferring data sovereignty could eventually happen. Our research, coined as the "socialized architecture," presents a novel disruptive approach to completely transform the cloud as we know it today. The approach follows ideas already working in the field of volunteer computing, since it tries to socialize spare computing power in the infraused hardware that institutions and normal people own. However, our solution is completely different to current ones, since it does not create hyper-specialized muscles in client machines. The solution is new since it proposes a software engineering approach for developing “socialized services”, which, leveraging an asynchronous interaction model, creates a network of lightweight microservices that can be dynamically allocated and replicated through the network. The use of state-of-the-art patterns, such as Command Query Responsibility Segregation, helps to isolate domain events and persistence needs, while an API Gateway addresses communication. All previous ideas were tested through a complete and functional proof of concept, which is a prototype called Circle implementing a social network. Circle has been useful to expose problems that need to be addressed. The results of the assessment confirm, in our view, that it is worth to start this new field of work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
