Entry notification due Dec 10th… EEE-05 Contest Technical Details: The EEE-05 Challenge is perhaps the first web service discovery/composition competition. As such, in this first year, we expect that the technical details of the competition will evolve as we learn more about the nature of running such a competition. The intention of this web page […]
Beyond “web of trust”: Enabling P2P E-commerce: The long-term goal would be to design a fully functional decentralized system which resembles eBay without eBay’s dedicated, centralized infrastructure. Since security (authenticity, non-repudiation, trust, etc.) is key to any e-commerce infrastructure, our envisioned P2P e-commerce platform has to address this adequately. As the first step in this […]
Congrats to Sergei Burkov of Dulance for creating the world’s first price-triggered RSS feed that “turns any newsreader into a personal shopping agent.”
AlwaysOn: Online shopping revenue is estimated to grow by 25 percent this holiday season, with the most active shopping day on the Web — Black Monday, if you will, to the traditional retail world’s so-called Black Friday — now right around the corner.

I just added a technical note to our Wiki extending the work of Dean and Ghemawat on MapReduce, a support library for programs that take advantage of large clusters such as those at Google. The fundamental problems of writing distributed systems like these — latency, naming (or memory access), partial failures, and concurrency are toy […]

The Atomic Market: Today’s electronic marketplaces are closed, centralized and inflexible. We propose a new type of electronic marketplace, which we refer to as an “atomic market.” Atomic markets differ from today’s electronic marketplaces in that they are (1) open-ended, (2) decentralized and (3) component-based. The atomic market supports short-lived markets created around the individual […]
NetLab Workshop Report, chaired by Charlie Plott: The time for collaboratories for experimental research in the social sciences has come. It is encouraging to note that, with very limited funding, individual researchers already are struggling to develop collaboratories. We assert that larger group efforts will have substantially greater payoffs in knowledge development. There is now […]

Spot workshops are informal one-day gatherings of academics and Yahoo folks centered around a common theme. This workshop’s theme was “Recommender Systems”. A recommender system is an automated algorithm […]
