The Socialized.Net is a peer-to-peer network based with socialized peers. Routing in the network is thus based on knowledge about other node’s interests, making it work much in the same way as humans cooperate. When you want to get information about used cars, you are more likely to ask a car-interested buddy than starting on the first page in the phone-book… The Socialized.Net is designed to work in both disconnected, weakly-connected (ad-hoc) and fully connected modes. The idea is that many of the future networking capable devices will be both very mobile. If we carry computers around, they should at least be able to help navigate the environment they are in. For example, travellers on a train should be able to find out about the train’s schedule and progress. This can easily be done locally on the train, thus using local communication as opposed to global communication (through the Internet). So, a traveller might ask “does anyone in this train know our schedule?”, and the train (or another traveller) can give a reply. The Socialized.Net is a PhD project, and is as such a work in progress and merely an experiment. This has been added to Social Informatics Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
