'''Social cloud computing''', also '''peer-to-peer social cloud computing''', is an area of computer science that generalizes [[cloud computing]] to include the sharing, bartering and renting of computing resources across peers whose owners and operators are verified through a [[social network]] or [[reputation system]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Gupta|first1=Minaxi|last2=Judge|first2=Paul|last3=Ammar|first3=Mostafa|title=Proceedings of the 13th international workshop on Network and operating systems support for digital audio and video |chapter=A reputation system for peer-to-peer networks |date=1 January 2003|pages=144–152|doi=10.1145/776322.776346|publisher=ACM|isbn=978-1581136944|citeseerx=10.1.1.13.5964|s2cid=5549841 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Chard|first1=K.|last2=Caton|first2=S.|last3=Rana|first3=O.|last4=Bubendorfer|first4=K.|title=2010 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Cloud Computing |chapter=Social Cloud: Cloud Computing in Social Networks |date=1 July 2010|pages=99–106|doi=10.1109/CLOUD.2010.28|isbn=978-1-4244-8207-8|citeseerx=10.1.1.225.9508|s2cid=8431622 }}</ref> It expands cloud computing past the confines of formal commercial data centers operated by cloud providers to include anyone interested in participating within the cloud services [[sharing economy]]. This in turn leads to more options, greater economies of scale, while bearing additional advantages for hosting data and computing services closer to the edge where they may be needed most.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Babaoglu|first1=Ozalp|title=Escape From the Data Center: The Promise of Peer-to-Peer Cloud Computing|journal=IEEE Spectrum|date=September 22, 2014|url=https://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/networks/escape-from-the-data-center-the-promise-of-peertopeer-cloud-computing}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Anderson|first1=David P.|last2=Fedak|first2=Gilles|title=Sixth IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGRID'06) |chapter=The Computational and Storage Potential of Volunteer Computing |date=1 January 2006|pages=73–80|doi=10.1109/CCGRID.2006.101|url=http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1134996|publisher=IEEE Computer Society|arxiv=cs/0602061|isbn=978-0-7695-2585-3|citeseerx=10.1.1.115.8349|s2cid=2564 }}</ref>
