[GNUnet-developers] My Master's Thesis: "Developing Peer-To-Peer Web Applications"

[Toni Ruottu]

hello

The CS department at the University of Helsinki has just accepted my
master's thesis "Developing Peer-To-Peer Web Applications". The thesis
is about a p2p web platform called Peerscape that we developed as a
research prototype at Helsinki Institute of Information Technology
HIIT. Peerscape is quite different from GNUnet, yet some design
decisions in Peerscape were motivated by learning from GNUnet. I have
included an overview of GNUnet in chapter 3.3 of my thesis. I wrote
the chapter some time ago, so it may not accurately describe how
GNUnet works today. I have published a pdf of my thesis at
http://iki.fi/toni.ruottu/schoolwork/twr-dp2pwa.pdf I am posting to
the GNUnet developers list in hopes that GNUnet development could
somehow benefit from the research done while developing Peerscape. The
Peerscape platform itself is free software (MIT license), and
available from http://peerscape.org/

  happy hacking, --Toni
