MSW Active Data Storage Graphical Representation

This is how the data structures developed by MeraLabs researchers look like. They possess an amazing feature: any pair of data units can be connected by a sequence of mutual links whose length logarithmically depends on the storage's volume, like in a binary tree. However the structure doesn't have a root vertex and each vertex has a comparatively small number of links coming from it.

The MeraLabs researchers are sure that it's possible to build petabyte and exabyte storages of electronic documents on the basis of such a unique framework, or to radically change addressing principles on the Internet and construct expert systems using the global network as a knowledge base.

Pseudo- Randomly selected projects

Internet Air Tuner→

The goal of the project is creation of an video and audio live streams source search technology for the Internet that would provide for automated creation of source descriptions and allow users to find such sources.

Cognitive Internet→

The project comprises a whole set of innovations aimed at facilitation of user interaction with the network, information search and exchange and automated creation of network device communities.

Metrized Small World Active Data Storage→

The Metrized Small World Active Data Storage project is dedicated to building a global distributed Internet-based data storage and retrieval architecture where petabytes of data can be generated and retrieved by a large number of uncoordinated actors located all over the planet. Ultimately, the construction of such an architecture will result in the possibility for every physical object to have a globally accessible representation in the digital world.

Ways to acheive democratic regulation of the Internet (in Russian)

This publication describes the technical solution of the problem of "democratization" of the Internet regulation principles. The solution comprises the creation of a decentralized Internet host name resolution system with flat hierarchy on the basis of Metrized Small World data structure.

Decreasing the risk of manipulative control over the Internet through creation of a peer-to-peer DNS architecture (in Russian)

The Internet today is not just a technical system, but a socio-economic system that influences the life of people around the globe.
The access to the Internet resources is based on the DNS system, which is created on the basis of a hierarchial architecture.
The top level domains of the DNS system can be manipulated in the interests of a single entity. This is a manipulative control of the network as a whole and that makes the net insecure.
To decrease the risks of such manipulative control the DNS system should be enhanced to satisfy an "equality principle".
