SMCC: Social media cloud computing model for developing SNS based on social media

Abstract

Social media-based Social Networking Service (SNS) has grown dramatically over the last decade. Numerous users have strengthened their human networks by joining SNS. Although many service providers tend to develop SNS according to the needs of users, it is difficult to develop SNS based on large amounts of social media using traditional techniques with related to processing and transmitting it in large and DB system for storing it. Therefore, in this paper, we present a new concept of Social Media Cloud Computing model (SMCC) combined with cloud computing environment that provides elastic computing resources for processing and storing big social media data and platforms for providing SNS's development environments. Our services deal with the whole cloud computing services such as SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
