Scalability
is the main and toughest foe for system to grow large. What's the solution?
--Distribution! P2P file sharing, web-caching... all these "hot"
issues can be viewed as content distribution. The concept of
"Content" may also be extened to any
resources (including services). This means lots of things: content
identification, content synchronization (replacement), content allocation,
server placement... My current interests are placement, allocation and balance
of the distributed content.

Stanford Identiscape Their
main purpose is not on content distribution, they are working on identification
of mobile people. Anyway, some good ideas on p2p-like network in this group

Iceberg Project at UC Berkeley I
think this project focuses on the free communication between different kinds
of devices more. Anyway, some of the basic mechanisms
are very similar.
