The work of Associate Professors Yongdae Kim, Abhishek Chandra and Ph.D. student Abedelaziz Mohaisen was recently featured on MIT Technology Review. The article "The Imminent Rise of Social Cloud Computing" discusses Kim's work on the issue of trust in the use of social cloud computing.
Kim, Chandra and Mohaisen have "modeled the way such a distributed computing system would schedule, distribute and complete tasks in several real-world networks. One interesting result is that social networks seem to be well matched to the task in hand. These networks ensure that tasks are distributed in way that most of them can be completed relatively quickly, provided that fewer than 30 per cent of users are outsourcing at any one time."
