Research challenges in P2P networking

  • Dah-Ming Chiu | Chinese Univiversity of Hong Kong

In recent years, P2P content distribution (e.g. live streaming or VoD) has received increased adoption, as well as research interest. Earlier research results focused on the theoretical
limits of such systems. Perhaps a more challenging task is to study the distributed algorithms for building such P2P systems, e.g. algorithms for scheduling transmission, algorithms for picking
pieces to exchange, or adjusting content replication; and algorithms for collecting user experiences. In this talk, I will review some recent work in this area, and discuss some challenging open problems.

Dah Ming Chiu received a B.Sc degree from Imperial Colleage London and a Ph.D. degree from Harvard University respectively. After twenty years in industry (Bell Labs, DEC and Sun Labs) in US, he returned to Hong Kong to teach in the Department of Information Engineering in the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His earlier work on network congestion control received high citations. More recently, his research interests include network economics and architecture, and P2P networking. He is an IEEE Fellow, and is currently serving as an associate editor for IEEE/ACM Transaction on Networking.
