2 - Testbed Interoperability Pre-FIA Workshop, Athens, 17 April 2014 Cloud-based Content Delivery Networks constitute a promising alternative to traditional CDNs. The Wireless Cloud represents the cloud computing evolution to wireless and mobile environments, allowing "as a service" provisioning over seamlessly integrated wireless access networks (e.g. WLAN, etc.) Network design and management needs to take into account the Social aspects of operation especially when the transferred content is relevant to the social activities of the users The proposed experiment aims at exploring how SNA inspired metrics can be adopted for fostering content delivery within the evolving wireless Cloud environment. SAViNE Motivation and Vision

Results cannot be directly applied to CCDNs [1] e.g. multi-domain environment, replication direction.  Can SNA-inspired metrics be beneficial? [1] F. Chen, K. Guo, J. Lin, and T. F.
