Maximizing the information diffusion opportunity in the cyber-physical network

Our daily life is changing by the smart objects, such as smart watches, smart phones etc. They make the cyber world and the physical world integrated by their abundant abilities of sensing, communication and computation etc. Focusing on a wide range of the integrated network, a statistical based strategy was introduced to get a special kind of link between objects, the statistical probability communication link. To get a maximized information spread probability for grouped people, this paper introduced a distributed, yet efficient algorithm naming DMPID algorithm, for finding a sub-network to spread people oriented inforamtion. The DMPID algorithm take the size of the selection and the information spread probability into account, and made a balance between the two parameters. Extended simulation showed that the DMPID algorithm performs well in different distributed networks.
