The Internet is a powerful resource. Interconnecting millions of individuals at thousands of institutions worldwide, it offers potential for significant inter-organizational sharing of resources, such as documents, software, data, network services, and people. The principal investigator (PI) envisions a sophisticated distributed collaboration paradigm where people accomplish tasks and share resources among many interrelated individuals across administrative borders. The research in this project will consider three questions: how can one design resource discovery algorithms that scale for use in national or international networks, provide algorithms to support searches without imposing artificial constraints on the resource space organization, and build systems that require a minimal level of global administration agreement on protocols, information formats, and organizational structures. To answer these questions, the PI will explore a highly decentralized architecture for supporting resource discovery. The research emphasizes systems and networking issues, involving distribution and replication for registering and maintaining distributed structures, called "views"; security of view contents; ease of creating and updating views; and ease of searching for resources.

互联网是一个强大的资源。 连接数百万人 在全球数千个机构的个人，它提供了 组织间大量分享 资源，如文档、软件、数据、网络服务，以及 人首席研究员（PI）设想了一个复杂的 分布式协作范例，人们完成任务 并在许多相互关联的个体之间共享资源， 行政边界。 本项目的研究将考虑三个问题： 如何设计资源发现算法， 在国家或国际网络中，提供算法， 支持搜索，而不对 资源空间组织，并建立系统，需要一个 最低水平的全球管理协议， 信息格式和组织结构。 回答 这些问题，PI将探索一个高度分散的 用于支持资源发现的体系结构。 研究 强调系统和网络问题，包括分配 和复制，用于注册和维护分布式 结构，称为“视图”;视图内容的安全性; 创建和更新视图;以及易于搜索资源。
