The Internet was conceived as a medium to efficiently enable point-to-point conversations. However, the main source of Internet traffic today is easily duplicable and location-independent content. In this talk we will focus on three aspects of latency and costs for P2P-assisted content distribution using analytical models supported by real-world measurements.Our first focus in this talk is on u...

Social interaction has become implicitly expected of modern web-based applications. Desktop applications, however, have yet to overcome the technical barriers of peer discovery and message passing without the use of centralized servers. This session explores common peer discovery paradigms, examples of peer-aware Ruby application code using the Journeta P2P LAN library, and approaches to overco...

Agreement problems are fundamental building blocks of reliable distributed systems, and the issue of designing reliable solutions that can cope with the high dynamism and self-organization nature of mobile ad-hoc and peer-to-peer networks is a very active field of current research. The core problem behind agreement problems is the consensus problem. Informally, a group of processes achieves con...

The team from MetaBroadcast Ltd describe their work on URIPlay (uriplay.org). Radio and TV were designed to be simple, to require minimum involvement. Our grandparents sometimes chose to change channel, but this was strictly optional. Today's technology has brought us more choice, freeing our viewing and listening from set schedules. However, alongside this choice, we users must deal with compl...
