Transactional Memory. While processors used to speed up almost twice a year, the current trend is to multiply the number of processors (cores) and no longer their speed. Transactional memory (TM) is a paradigm for multicore programming that hides the complex synchronization internals and simply requires the programmer to delimit regions of sequential code that should look atomic, the transactions.
Distributed Slicing. The distributed slicing is a refinement of the notion of super-peers election, where each peer must determine how super it is. In a system where each node has an attribute value (representing some resource or capacity), the distributed slicing problem is for each node to determine the slice/portion of the system its attribute value belongs to.
Dynamic Storage. In wide-scale unstructured systems, where the total number of participants is unknown, each participant acts on its own and can leave the system at will. The goal here is to provide a storage systems that tolerates dynamism.
