DECENTRALIZED SELF MANAGEMENT FOR GRIDS, P2P, AND USER COMMUNITIES
21 October 2008, Isola di San Servolo (Venice), Italy
Workshop held in conjunction with SASO 2008 (http://polaris.ing.unimo.it/saso2008/), Oct. 20-24, 2008
The Internet is a fantastic tool for information and resource sharing. User communities such as families, friends, schools, clubs, etc., can pool their resources and their knowledge: hardware, computation time, file space, photos, data, annotations, pointers, opinions, etc.
However, infrastructures and tools for supporting such activities are still relatively primitive. Existing P2P networks enable world-wide file sharing but are limited to read-only data and provide no security or confidentiality guarantees. Grids support closed-membership virtual organizations (VOs), but their management remains largely manual. Web 2.0 social networks, blogs, and wikis remain centralized and have limited functionality.
This workshop examines issues of decentralized self management as they relate to these areas. The workshop is co-located with SASO 2008, the Second International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (http://polaris.ing.unimo.it/saso2008/). The workshop covers the application of:
* Peer-to-peer techniques such as structured overlay networks * Self-adaptive techniques such as feedback loop architectures * Agoric systems, collective intelligence, and game theory * Decentralized distributed algorithms * Autonomic networking techniques
to:
* Virtual organizations
* Collaborative and social applications
* Computer-supported cooperative work, collaborative editing,
code management tools, and co-operative engineering
* Data replication, distributed file systems or distributed databases
* Security and confidentiality in distributed systems
