Hi,
Anyone who's in Melbourne in 2 weeks time might be interested in the
following seminar.
Disclaimer: I know nothing about this work except what's in this email.
I received the announcement because I'm a former Melbourne Uni student.
If anyone goes along to this, perhaps they could post a summary on this
list.

A Distributed Quadtree Index for Peer-to-Peer Settings
Peer-to-peer networks are becoming a common form of online data
exchange. Currently, users perform exact-match queries and retrieve
complete files on these networks. Many future data intensive
applications over P2P settings, e.g., P2P auction networks, P2P
job-search networks, and P2P multi-player games, will have to answer
complex queries over complex data types. This is currently expected
from any web-based application that runs with a database system on a
client-server setting. In this talk, I will present a P2P quadtree-based
index that enables more powerful accesses to data intensive applications.
We have implemented this index for a prototype P2P application and our
experiments show that the proposed index is scalable, efficient to
use, and exhibits good load-balancing properties. Our work can be
applied to various multi-dimensional data types both with spatial and
non-spatial attributes.
Dr. Egemen Tanin is a lecturer at the Department of Computer Science
and Software Engineering, University of Melbourne. Fore more info, please see
