INRIA Saclay - Parc Orsay Université, ORSAY Salle de Réunion P104 (Batiment P, 1er etage) -- The talk is part of the monthly seminar on peer-to-peer social network organized by the ASAP/GEMO teams.
Despite almost a decade of research on peer-to-peer systems, and much interest, potential and development of structured overlays, large scale deployment of such overlays out in the open has generally remained elusive. The technical half of this talk will highlight some of the outstanding challenges for such large-scale deployment and recent results and mechanisms to address the same - including on decentralized bootstrapping, ring-less routing and securing structured overlays from various malicious and uncooperative behaviors. The later part of the talk will delve into some ongoing initiatives (occasionally disjoint from each other) to realize social networking and collaborative applications in a decentralized setting, including using aforementioned structured overlay based infrastructure.
