DESCRIPTION:This talk is focused on content distribution in community scen
 arios based on social interaction. Firstly\, I will start analyzing the ch
 aracteristics of data transfer based on swarms. Secondly I will introduce 
 the factor of social similarities between peers. The result of this two pe
 rspectives will follow with the presentation of Swarmella\, a framework fo
 r content distribution using delivery techniques based on swarming and soc
 ial aspects. These functionalities are exploited by the Ranking Algorithm 
 that manage the information a peer can collect from its neighbors found on
  each swarm and it is used to create the structure of the communities. We 
 have evaluated SwarmTella through simulation and compared it with Gnutella
 . Our results show that SwarmTella clearly outperforms Gnutella\, increasi
 ng the probability of success in the search procedure and reducing the ban
 dwidth utilization in the search procedure. The current work is to extend 
 SwarmTella in a delay-tolerant environments and validate it with real trac
 es scenarios.\n\nThis is a joint work with Ruben Cuevas (UC3M)\n\nThis res

 nication Engineering degree in 1994 from the Technical University of Madri
 d (UPM)\, Spain\, and the Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1998 from the Unive
 rsidade da Coruña (UDC)\, Spain. She is currently associate professor sin
 ce 2003 at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M)\, teaching computer net
 works courses. She has been involved in several national and international
  research projects related with content distribution\, overlay networks\, 
 information retrieval\, broadband access networks\, network management and
  advanced network and multimedia real time systems. \nMore details of her
