ABSTRACT

In addition to seamless connectivity and smartness, the objects in Internet of Things are expected to have social capabilities. This chapter models an intuitive paradigm of social interactions between these objects. It discusses the impact of social behavior on the interaction pattern of social objects taking Peer-to-peer (P2P) resource sharing as an example application. Computer networks offer amazing possibilities to exchange data and deal with files. P2P technology allows client machines on a network to share their own resources with other network connected machines with little or no involvement of any central server. P2P technology enabled a revolution in machine-to-machine communication. One of the main aims of SIoT services to make autonomous decisions without or less human involvement is the vital factor to provide seamless connectivity and secure and reliable services.
