In a Social Compute Cloud, resource providers possess virtualized containers on their personal computers or smart devices to their social network. Often, Users may have complex preference structures regarding with whom they want to share their resources. By proper simulation, resources can be effectively allocated within a social community offering resources on a qualitative basis. The main advantage is that social networks can be used in the implementation of cloud computing infrastructures and the resources can be allocated in the presence of user sharing preferences.
