Design and evaluation of a cognitive approach for disseminating semantic knowledge and content in opportunistic networks

The Internet of People: A human and data-centric paradigm for the Next Generation Internet

“…Cognitive psychology describes, among others, how human beings perceive and interact with data, how they assess relevance of information, how they exchange it when interacting, and how they extract knowledge out of it. Data-centric Internet systems for mobile networks have already been proposed (see also Section 3.1), where these models are exploited to efficiently guide information diffusion among users [MVCP16]. Very useful models have been derived in the area of complex network analysis [C07], describing, for example, human social relationships with compact graph descriptions, amenable to characterize human behavioural properties and exploit them in the design of networking solutions.…”

“…This process is the same behind exchange of knowledge and data associated to knowledge between human beings. Specifically, in [MVCP16] by exploiting the semantic-network representation, the selection of information to exchange starts from the concepts in common between the two nodes, similar to the way a real discussion between humans typically starts. Then, the semantic network of each personal device is navigated starting from these common concepts, and each node extracts a selection of concepts to pass over to the other node.…”

A social cognitive heuristic for adaptive data dissemination in mobile Opportunistic Networks

“…We have recently proposed some solutions for disseminating data in OppNets based on cognitive heuristics (e.g., [8,9,10,11]). However, the data dissemination schemes proposed so far do not exploit any knowledge about the social structure of the environment where the users move.…”
