This paper focuses on the characteristics of two big triggers that facilitated wide user adoption of the Internet: Web 2.0[1] and online social networks. We detect brakes for reproduction of these events in Internet of things. To support our hypothesis we first compare the difference between the ways of use of the Internet with the future scenarios of Internet of things. We detect barriers that...

Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) which have sufficient state information include trajectory and contact information, to protect routing efficiency. However, state information is dynamic and hard to obtain without a global and/or long-term collection process. To deal with these problems, the internal social features of each node are introduced in the network to perform the routing process. This typ...

We focus on estimating a research area of a researcher/user by finding a unique identity in digital libraries and social networks and by analyse of public metadata of their publications and published information on social networks profiles. The lack of content of the metadata in some of the publications is solved by the information retrieval using techniques of NLP. We estimate the author’s dom...

In the recent years, social networks emerged rapidly and it's has become more complex. Social networks play an important role in the dissemination of information and the spread of influence. Several research studies are interested to the detection of the structure of complex networks, otherwise, to the community detection and leader detection. The major drawback of most of the proposed algorith...
