Current social networking systems are almost always centralized systems. This architecture poses issues about privacy, censorship and control of personal data. On the other hand, peer-to-peer systems can overcome these issues, in exchange with additional architectural complexity. This paper describes a peer-to-peer system provided with a spanning tree for distributing online notifications inside a group of interested peers. These notifications may regard discussion messages for a chat system, or any kind of update messages for spreading social activities performed by users of a Distributed Online Social Network. In particular, we describe and compare different mechanisms for the creation and management of the spanning tree.

Abstract
Current social networking systems are almost always centralized systems. This architecture poses issues about privacy, censorship and control of personal data. On the other hand, peer-to-peer systems can overcome these issues, in exchange with additional architectural complexity. This paper describes a peer-to-peer system provided with a spanning tree for distributing online notifications inside a group of interested peers. These notifications may regard discussion messages for a chat system, or any kind of update messages for spreading social activities performed by users of a Distributed Online Social Network. In particular, we describe and compare different mechanisms for the creation and management of the spanning tree.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
