Abstract

In this chapter, the authors introduced cloudsim simulator and cloud computing role in online social networking. The communication incurred by other activities such as management jobs is negligible. Social relationships can be established for numerous reasons. For example, family members, colleagues, or classmates often have strong social interactions resulting in large communication load. Cloud computing as well as social network-based applications will become dominant in many aspects of life in the next few decades. The performance of such large-scale systems is characterized by system capacity in terms of number of users/clients, flexibility, scalability, and effective cost of operation, etc. Popular social networks have hundreds of millions of users and continue to grow.
