 Objectives of the research

-Our goal is to build a location transparent, hyperstructured desktop 
-environment. As a part of the this project, we perform research on novel 
interfaces 
-taking advantage of modern graphics capabilities as well as new types of 
-controllers. For location transparency, we study the suitability of 
Peer-to-Peer 
-networks to find efficient methods for locating xanalogical media in a 
distributed 
-environment and to support ad-hoc team work.

-Research on how location-independent identifiers can be used to find
-information in a Peer-to-Peer environment. To support our research work, we 
have 
-developed a software library, named as Storage Modules (Storm), which provides 
-the basis for storing (xanalogical) data to our system. Storm provides an 
alternative to 
-traditional file-based storage as all data is stored as immutable *blocks*. A 
block is 
-like a file but it cannot be changed, and instead of a file name it is 
identified by a 
-SHA-1 cryptographic content hash [fips-sha-1]_. Thus, identifiers are 
-location-independent and globally unique.
