Abstract :
With this work we aim at bringing together the best of both web-based social networks and peer-to-peer networks. We provide the mechanism to bootstrap and deploy, in a decentralized manner, user-centric overlay networks. The overlay network of each person is built on top of already exiting relationships provided by the person´s social graph, and, through a novel service naming convention, it allows users to advertise, discover and interact with the services they provide to each other.
