Using data gathered from US government agencies, anthropologist Felix Pharand-Deschenes has created a collection of maps that illustrate the various circulatory systems that connect humanity: cities, roads, railways, power lines, pipelines, cable Internet, airlines, and shipping lanes. The maps are remarkable cartographic documents of our current age, but also serve deeper research and educational purposes.
Any peer-to-peer publishing system must provide a mechanism for efficiently locating published documents. For censorship resistant systems, it is particularly important that the lookup mechanism be difficult to disable or abuse.
Li Fan, Pei Cao and Jussara Almeida & Andrei Z. Broder - this new protocol, each proxy keeps a summary of the cache directory of each participating proxy, and checks these summaries for potential hits before sending any queries.
a system for distributed, anonymous, persistent data storage which is robust against attempts by powerful adversaries to find and destroy any stored data.
stands for Masqueraded, Anonymous, Decentralized, Dynamic Information Sharing and is the attempt to create a powerful state-of-the-art peer-2-peer system. (on hold)
The purpose of the Online Games White Papers is to provide online games market statistics, business model descriptions, technology summaries and publisher listings.
sponsored by ACM, the arXiv.org e-Print archive, NCSTRL (Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library), and AAAI. CoRR allows researchers to search, browse and download papers through its online repository.
explores the challenges of constructing a distributed e-business architecture based on the concept of Request Based Virtual OrganiZation (RBVO) and presents a solution based on ebXML, Open Source e-business component
aims to build scalable, robust distributed systems using peer-to-peer ideas. The basis for much of our work is the Chord distributed hash lookup primitive.
a distributed file sharing program. Users join channels where they receive announcements for available resources. These resources may include files, chat groups, search groups, and other channels.
a collaborative effort to help deliver large, freely-downloadable content using peer-to-peer technology. The network is essentially a huge "virtual web server"
by Alan C. Kay ffrom Apple Computer - "Most ideas come from previous ideas. The sixties, particularly in the ARPA community, gave rise to a host of notions..."
Network Address Translation (NAT) causes well-known difficulties for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, since the peers involved may not be reachable at any globally valid IP address.
In k-means clustering we are given a set of n data points in d-dimensional space and an integer k, and the problem is to determine a set of k points in d-space, called centers, so as to minimize the mean squared distance from each data point to its neares
a group of international experts involved in network and system security. THC was founded in 1995 in Germany, has published over 60 software releases and technical papers and currently is among the top ten security groups worldwide.
The object interfaces provided by ILU hide implementation distinctions between different languages, between different address spaces, and between operating system types. ILU can be used to build multi-lingual object-oriented libraries ("class libraries")
