Abstract :
The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) network is the result of the union of the Social Network and the Internet of Things network; wherein, each object tries to use the services provided by its friends. In this network, to find the right friend in order to use the right service is demanding. Great number of objects' friends, in classical algorithms, causes increasing the computational time and load of network navigation to find the right service with the help of friendly objects. In this article, in order to reduce the computational load and network navigation, it is proposed, firstly, to select the appropriate object friend from a heuristic approach; secondly, to use an adapted binary cuckoo optimization algorithm (AB-COA) which tries to select the appropriate friendly object to receive the service according to the maximum response capacity of each friendly object, and finally, adopting the Adamic-Adar local index (AA) with the interest degree centrality criterion so that it represents the characteristics of the common neighbors of the objects are involved in the friend selection. Finally, by executing the proposed algorithm on the Web-Stanford dataset, an average of 4.8 steps was obtained for reaching a service in the network, indicating the superiority of this algorithm over other algorithms.
