Invited speaker : Bruno Stevant


Title: Swarm Computing : new opportunities at the edge of the network


Abstract

It is now feasible for consumers to buy inexpensive but fully-featured computing devices that can be installed at home and accessed remotely thanks to residential Internet connection. Such a simple "self-hosting" can be an alternative to traditional cloud providers, especially for privacy-conscious users. We discuss in this talk how a community of users can pool their devices in order to create a participatory infrastructure and how to leverage such infrastructure to host services and data.
