Case Analysis—Social Cloud

Case Analysis—Social Cloud

After the great class we have this week, we really do something I have never have before. I never image that a class like that, it’s funny and interesting than all my classes before. It’s a totally different class beyond imagination.

Now let us go more details about what we get and the bright future of the social cloud. You can find the essay, my work and the great work finished by our group in the reference.

My answer to the class activity one:

Q1 Definition of social cloud:

A Social Cloud is a resource and service-sharing framework utilizing relationships established between members of a social network.

That’s to say, cloud computing in social network. (基於雲計算在社交網絡)

Q2 Application of social cloud:

The potential application scenarios that benefit from Cloud models are immense (from scalable web servers through to data intensive scientific applications).

1) A Social Computation Cloud:

2) A Social Storage Cloud:

3) A Social Collaborative Cloud:

4) A Social Cloud for Public Science:

5) An Enterprise Social Cloud:

         After our group discussion, there are some differences as follows:

1) Q1: A give up the addition of the cloud computing in social networks. The point is that for a definition, we must choose the best words for summary and lest words to make it clear.

         My choice of the cloud computing in social network based on the article<< Social Cloud: Cloud Computing in Social Networks >>. This is a great essay about this topic I found with limited time. It put some very sharp ideas about this area. Anyway, we were doing a case analysis and we should focus more on the original paper. So I weighted more about our group work.

2) Q2: Actually the article gives out very well summary of the basic application for social cloud Computing.

For the epistemic aims of question one & two, I think the most important thing is to find the decision-making system of individual and group work especially via social network.

Like any community, individual users of a social network are bound by finite capacity and limited capabilities. Group decision is very different， it means the reasonable division of work, the common sense and capacity. Anyway, you must share your ideas to others and discuss with them based on something motion, that is, the psychological status.  It’s a very different condition. Everyone has his work, and he must do whatever he can do to support the group work in limited time.

Why the difference between my own answers and the group? I believe the outcome of a group is always the compromise——everybody’s psychology focus more about what we all support but not to insist his own idea. It’s easy to understand, everybody’s answer have something in common and something different. With limited time and the condition that the group must give out an answer, we choose what we all have and give up the difference. As our former prime minister Zhou Enlai (周恩來) puts ” seeking common ground while reserving differences”(求同存異).

What’s more, the style to solve question and find the solution is different between individual work and group work. When you must do it on yourself. You must finish the whole essay and go more details, that is, why the question is put forward and how can you solve it more comprehensive. But when it comes to group work, we guys can divide the work into different parts and focus one’s own part. Besides, group work especially social cloud can provide more ideas and new ways to analysis and solve the question.

As for the group work process, one should skin the essay at first, then he must go a bit further in his part so he can go more details. Then we have a discussion, just in this case, we write all we ideas on the board and the crash did help. What we get is a multi-angle and solid outcome. This is the point.

Anyway, we human being is in a digital century, that is, everything based on group work via computer and Internet. This why we obtain more progress in these 50 years, in fact is much more than what we get form the very beginning—the share of ideas means. Last but more important, the research of men’s reaction in group work did help when we want a more efficient group work via computer.

Our example is an much unique one because it’s a case analysis. There is a large scale patterns such as work, club and so on. As for the Social Cloud—the group work via social networking. We do have a lot to discuss.

Teamwork is very important and almost every organization need every member has a strong sense of teamwork. In my opinion, teamwork is the reflected of what you will do in group work. Then the social cloud may be configured differently depending on the details. But there must be some common rules that we need to improve, maybe we can find more when we read it beyond words, that is, how we human beings get involved and what will we focus on, the things we do and why we do it in psychology.

It’s a huge topic and maybe you can obtain more via my reference.
