TL;DR: This position paper position that a new shift is necessary in computing, taking the control of computing applications, data, and services away from some central nodes to the other logical extreme of the Internet, and refers to this vision of human-centered edge-device based computing as Edge-centric Computing.

TL;DR: This paper describes the description of the prototype built for the P2P infrastructure for social networks, as a first step without the encryption part, and shares early experiences from the prototype and insights gained since first outlining the challenges and possibilities of decentralized alternatives to OSNs.

TL;DR: Self-organizing Structured P2P systems are described, which have generated substantial interest because of emergent globalscale phenomena and the most prominent class of approaches are distributed hash tables (DHT) and Chord.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a segment-based event detection system for tweets, called Twevent, which first detects bursty tweet segments as event segments and then clusters the event segments into events considering both their frequency distribution and content similarity.

TL;DR: This work proposes as an alternative a new family of codes to improve the maintenance process, called self-repairing codes (SRC), with the following salient features: encoded fragments can be repaired directly from other subsets of encoded fragments by downloading less data than the size of the complete object, and allow reconstruction with lower latency by facilitating repairs in parallel.
