免费的朋友：信任与合作的自组织人工社交网络
Friends for Free: Self-Organizing Artificial Social Networks for Trust and Cooperation
摘要：
通过从电子邮件联系人或即时消息“好友列表”中获取友谊网络，对等（P2P）应用程序可以提高在低信任环境（如Internet）中的性能。然而，自然的社交网络并不总是合适、可靠或可用的。我们提出了一个算法（SLACER），允许对等节点创建和管理自己的友谊网络。我们使用规范的测试应用程序来评估性能，需要同行之间的合作，以获得社会最佳结果。人工社交网络（Artificial SocialNetworks，简称ANN）是相互连接、相互合作和强大的，拥有人类友谊网络的许多缺陷，如朋友之间的信任（直接链接的对等体）和通过朋友链链接每个人的短路径。除了新的应用可能性之外，SLACER还可以为目前依赖于人类社交网络的P2P应用提供支持，从而将它们转变为完全自主的自我管理系统。
英文摘要：
By harvesting friendship networks from e-mail contacts or instant message "buddy lists" Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications can improve performance in low trust environments such as the Internet. However, natural social networks are not always suitable, reliable or available. We propose an algorithm (SLACER) that allows peer nodes to create and manage their own friendship networks. We evaluate performance using a canonical test application, requiring cooperation between peers for socially optimal outcomes. The Artificial Social Networks (ASN) produced are connected, cooperative and robust - possessing many of the disable properties of human friendship networks such as trust between friends (directly linked peers) and short paths linking everyone via a chain of friends. In addition to new application possibilities, SLACER could supply ASN to P2P applications that currently depend on human social networks thus transforming them into fully autonomous, self-managing systems.
