“…Several studies aimed to design valid mechanisms to diffuse the content as much as possible to the interested nodes. For example, [12] analyses how maximizing the total weight of the content receivers, which is measured in proportion both to how much the users themselves are interested in the content and based on their ability to connect with other interested users.…”

In light of the growing number of user privacy violations in centralized social networks, the need to define effective platforms for decentralized online social networks (DOSNs) is deeply felt. Interesting solutions have been proposed in the past, which own the necessary mechanisms to allow users keeping control over their personal information and setting the rules to regulate the access of other users. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of this type of solutions is severely reduced by the fact that different user communities with a shared interest could be disconnected/separated from each other. This translates into a reduced ability in effectively spreading data of common interest towards all interested users, as it currently happens in centralized social networks. In order to overcome the cited limitation, this paper proposes a disruptive approach, which exploits the availability of a new class of Internet of Things (IoT) devices with autonomous social behaviors and cognitive abilities. Such devices can be leveraged as friendship intermediaries between devices' owners who are connected to a DOSN platform and share the same interest. We will demonstrate that clear advantages can be achieved in terms of increased percentage of Interested Reachable Nodes (a specific measure of Delivery Ratio) in distributed social networks among humans, when enhanced with so called Mediator Objects adhering to the well-known social IoT (SIoT) paradigm.

“…Obviously, authorization mechanisms in the use of the node's contacts can be leveraged to guarantee a given content to be diffused to the interested nodes only. This allows reducing as much as possible the number of unnecessary visited nodes and making the information spreading as efficient as possible [10], [11], [12], [13].…”

“…For example, coupon brochures may be distributed by the merchant to potential customers in a shopping mall, a conference organizer may send conference invitations to potential interested people, and a bookseller at a book exhibition may deliver free books to interested readers. Such commercial or advertisement content is called authorized content [4,5] , which has interesting features. First, the content is not free of cost.…”

Interest-centric Opportunistic Social Networks (IOSNs) such that the reward is maximized. We first derive Social Connection Pattern (SCP) data to handle the challenging opportunistic connections in IOSNs and statistically analyze the interest distribution of the users contacted or connected. The SCP is used to predict the interests of possible contactors and connectors. Then, we propose our SCP-based Dissemination (SCPD) algorithm to calculate the optimum number of content copies to disseminate when two users meet. Our dataset based simulation shows that our SCPD algorithm is effective and efficient to disseminate the authorized content in IOSNs.
