 About this site
This site is about the efforts of the Delft University of Technology in the I-Share project.

 About I-Share
The Freeband I-Share project investigates the sharing of resources in virtual communities, which are (dynamic) groups of nodes that are willing to collaborate for the better of the whole. In particular, I-Share considers the sharing of resources for processing, transmitting, and storing multimedia streams:
  • Functionality sharing. Specific capabilities of terminals embodied in algorithms — or, more abstractly, in services — are shared to support applications and to form new ones.
  • Content sharing. Multimedia content in the form of stored data and streams; generally content in the form of files.
  • Processing sharing. This pertains to particular assets related to local hardware. We think of processing power and storage to start with, but specific processing hardware (co-processors) and special purpose hardware are possible as well.
The focus of the research is creating peer-to-peer-based services, i.e. (mainly) software which allows particular applications to act as both a server and a client for sharing resources.
The official I-Share website can be found here, and a list of publications made within I-Share can be found here.
