EVERGROW -

This is the province of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing today, and a very active area. We will explore overlay network structures, which is the fundamental technology behind P2P, char- acterise new types of services that can be offered, and in this way provide a foundation for a third generation of P2P offerings, which combine locality with efficient communications, and offer much higher levels of trust and privacy.
