A Survey on Collaborative Data Sharing over Internet
PhD Qualifying Examination Title: "A Survey on Collaborative Data Sharing over Internet" Miss Lili ZHONG Abstract: The Internet collaborative data sharing services have been increasingly attractive and popular. In such systems, the collaboration and data sharing among the end users not only provide richer set of content, but also help to drive down the cost by leveraging user capability. Social network is one of such examples, which facilitates the rapid information distribution by participating users. However, due to the inherent heterogeneity of the Internet, autonomous and distinctive behavior of individual user, there are several fundamental limitations in the existing collaborative data sharing solutions such as content search efficiency and system resource allocation. Furthermore, research on social networks also reveals serious vulnerability to designated attacks. In this manuscript, we survey the state-of-the-art in large-scale collaborative data sharing applications. We examine the critical problems in the existing systems, and we discuss issues and challenges in social network based data sharing applications. With these in mind, we present a number of open problems in related research aiming to achieve better performance and user experience.
