Abstract:

The Internet collaborative data sharing services have been increasingly
attractive and popular. In such systems, the collaboration and data
sharing among the end users not only provide richer set of content,
but also help to drive down the cost by leveraging user capability.
Social network is one of such examples, which facilitates the rapid
information distribution by participating users. However, due to the
inherent heterogeneity of the Internet, autonomous and distinctive
behavior of individual user, there are several fundamental limitations
in the existing collaborative data sharing solutions such as content
search efficiency and system resource allocation. Furthermore, research
on social networks also reveals serious vulnerability to designated
attacks.

In this manuscript, we survey the state-of-the-art in large-scale
collaborative data sharing applications. We examine the critical
problems in the existing systems, and we discuss issues and challenges
in social network based data sharing applications. With these in mind,
we present a number of open problems in related research aiming to achieve
better performance and user experience.
