The Faculty of Informatics is pleased to announce a seminar given by Christof Leng
DATE: Monday, April 15th 2013

ABSTRACT:
Ten years ago, peer-to-peer networks appeared to be a very promising technology. Despite the hype, very few actual products successfully adopted P2P technology. It seems the implementation of a non-trivial P2P system is much more challenging than a comparable client/server application. The novel rendezvous search overlays aim to radically reduce the burden for application developers. BubbleStorm is a probabilistic rendezvous search overlay that is optimized for especially harsh environments. BubbleStorm's replication mechanisms enable very reliable distributed data management and retrieval.
