What does MDS stand for?

Although researchers are concerned about overlay network technologies and massively distributed systems and applications in general, they keep the users and their needs in mind as they cover resiliency (transaction rate limiters, incentives against hidden action, protection from poisons, robust identity systems), adaptive systems (secure access in mobile P2P systems, range caching, summarization), storage (erasure codes, file replacement algorithm, flexible routing), cooperative systems (secure software delivery, bandwidth conservation, safe mediator-free environments), search and retrieval (faster access, a community-based search engine), applications (vertical handover support, security for games and numerical computation), streaming, file sharing and topology.

Neighborhood Watch brings the power of massively distributed systems, each using the Internet in different ways and being attacked in different ways, to increase the overall awareness and protection of the users in the program," said Ross Brown, eEye's CEO.

He led a team specializing in user-to-user collaboration and massively distributed systems, focusing on the identification of new architectures based on leading edge technologies, the definition of pervasive systems, and thought leadership in domains such as web services and P2P.
