[Gzz] IPTPS

[Benja Fallenstein]

Hi all,

Browsing the web on distributed hashing, I found a lot of resources from 
a workshop called IPTPS'02 (First International Workshop on Peer To Peer 
Systems). Here is a must read:

   http://www.cs.rice.edu/Conferences/IPTPS02/173.pdf

This paper's called "Security Considerations for Peer-to-Peer 
Distributed Hash Tables." It does not only list problems, but also ways 
to work around these problems. Really important stuff.

The whole electronic proceedings are at:

   http://www.cs.rice.edu/Conferences/IPTPS02/

This was in March 2002-- somehow I get the feeling that a) we don't want 
to go too deep into implementing a Storm p2p network yet, because 
distributed hashing is too immature; and b) we'd REALLY like cooperation 
with people who're into that kind of research.

Now, the next workshop is February, 2003. The page is:

   http://iptps03.cs.berkeley.edu/

This would be a great thing to participate in (presenting a position 
paper about gzz.media/Storm). Not only to make Storm more widely known, 
but also as a place to really learn something-- at least the output of 
IPTPS'01 seems to have been really cutting-edge.

Don't know whether our stuff is good/pertinent enough to get in, but I 
think it's interesting enough for it to be worth trying ;-)

Problem is that submissions are due October 25th. But that still gives 
three weeks after the latter of the two demos.
