P2P Networks and Distributed Systems

Peer-to-peer networks are distributed systems, where all participating entities both provide and utilize services to/from each other. Our research in P2P covers both unstructured and structured architectures (Distributed Hash Tables - DHTs).

XOROS

XOR Object Store (or XOROS for short) is a structured peer-to-peer system (Distributed Hash Table) designed with data updates in mind. Most current DHT implementations require that data values, once written, should not be modified. XOROS addresses this issue, by incorporating related distributed mutex and Byzantine-tolerant communication protocols at the peer-to-peer level.

Grid4All

We are developing a peer-to-peer filesystem for Grid4all, an EU funded research project that proposes a democratic grid, based on peer-to-peer technology.
