Inhalt

Peer-to-peer technologies have become a key component for building large scale distributed systems. This course will introduce peer-to-peer systems, discuss their general properties, and the impact of the peer-to-peer principle on practical applications. The course will cover the following topics:

  • Currently deployed peer-to-peer systems and how they work
  • Distributed Hash Tables as a base for structured peer-to-peer systems
  • Peer-to-peer storage systems and applications
  • Performance issues, legal aspects, and privacy issues

In the second part of the course, we will look at grid computing, discuss its difference to peer-to-peer systems, and present some real world applications of grid computing.
