Abstract

Most current CSCW architectures rely on a central server and offer only limited scalability. With the emergence of distributed hash tables as a comprehensive peer-to-peer infrastructure a wealth of new applications can be developed. In this paper we propose a new DHT-based CSCW architecture, inspired by modern massive multiplayer online games architectures, using existing systems and technologies. The resulting CSCW overlay network offers both robustness against network failures and scalability to support large numbers of users simultaneously.
