Marti, Sergio and Garcia-Molina, Hector (2003) Identity Crisis: Anonymity vs. Reputation in P2P Systems. In: Third IEEE International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing (P2P 2003), September 1-3, 2003, Linkoping, Sweden. Abstract The effectiveness of reputation systems for peer-to-peer resource-sharing networks is largely dependent on the reliability of the identities used by peers in the network.

DBin Project
Short overveiw: Similar to a filesharing client , DBin connects directly to other peers. Instead of files, however, it will download "relevant information" about topics you specify. More technically sharing and receiving "Semantically structured information" using RDF and other components of the W3C Semantic Web Initiative . Similar to a Newsgroup client, bits of information (called "annotations") are collected and inserted by entering Topic Rooms. e.g. the "Beers lovers" or "Butterflies collector" rooms. To maximally enjoy the room, it is suggested that you download a proper, specialized user interface and interaction environment prepared for you by domain experts (e.g. ).
P2P Blog » Azureus 3.0 and Zudeo: Some first impressions
Numerous websites have reported about the launch of Zudeo.com today. The site is basically the new face of Azureus, a popular multi-platform Bittorrent client. The regular Azureus website forwards to Zudeo.com now, and the new site has been completely integrated into the new version of the Azureus client software.Since the beginning, we wanted ‘ a thousand tomorrows ‘ not only to point to future-related happenings out there in the world, but also to dig into the minds of people at the forefront of developments which are redefining our future or have the potential to do so. Via interview sessions we would like to share with you a look through their eyes into today’s and tomorrow’s possible world(s). In our first interview, we’ll take a closer look into the fascinating peer-to-peer (r)evolution, together with Michel Bauwens. Michel is a versatile man: innovator, editor, philosopher, serial entrepreneur, filmmaker (together with Frank Theys he made a 3 hour TV-documentary titled: “ Technocalyps: the metaphysics of technology and the end of man ” ), … A few years ago he left his home country Belgium and now lives in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He is the founder of the Foundation for Peer to Peer Alternatives , which researches, documents and promotes p2p practices.

To help us get through this particularly trying time of year, we are announcing the period up to and including April 1st Double Privileges Week! All donations of $5 or more made in that time will receive double the usual privileges time! Also, if you haven't checked out SoulseekQt yet, our new client in development for Windows, Mac and Linux, you can download it here!
Soulseek - Slsknet - File sharing software
[Background] NeuroGrid is an Open-Source project that aims to bring you a more efficient way to organize your data. It is also a Peer-to-Peer system that learns from the way you organize your data to support more efficient decentralized search. At the moment the main search engines use centralized servers, or clusters of servers, in order to support web search.
Background
The Stanford Peers Home Page
Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems have become a popular medium to share huge amounts of data. P2P systems distribute the main costs of sharing data - disk space for storing files and bandwidth for transferring them - across the peers in the network, thus enabling applications to scale without the need for powerful, expensive servers. Their ability to build a resource-rich system by aggregating resources enables them to dwarf the capabilities of many centralized systems for little cost. There are, however, important challenges that must be overcome before the full potential of P2P systems can be realized. For example, the scale of the network and the autonomy of nodes make it difficult to identify , model and distribute resources that are available.
