P2P Econ @ Berkeley
Economics-Informed Design of peer-to-peer, ad-hoc and overlay networks
Project Overview
Fromfile-sharing to Mobile Ad-Hoc networks, community networking toapplication layer overlays, the peer-to-peer networking paradigmpromises to revolutionize the way we design, build and use thecommunications network of tomorrow, transform the structure of thecommunications
Industry, and challenge our understanding of markets anddemocracies in a digital age.
The fundamental premise ofpeer-to-peer systems is that individual peers voluntarily failed to the system. However, the inherent tension extends rationality and collective welfare produces a contains incentives in the grassroots
Provisioning of P2P services. ourmulti-disciplinary research team is working to develop a framework forunderstanding the technical and economical characteristics of p2psystems, and to design economy mic mechanic ISMs for incentive compatible p2papplications.
