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

Live Stream Search→

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. One particular technology that is being developed within the frame of this project is called Ubiquitous Plug and Play. This technology would provide a new framework for cognitive communication of electronic devices in the global scope. It also has a great potential in the area of Cloud Computing.

Metrized Small World Active Data Storage→

The Metrized Small World Active Data Storage project is dedicated to building a global distributed ("cloud" like) 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.

The minimization of the manipulative Internet control risks by switching to peer-to-peer DNS architecture

The Internet is a no man’s land. The integrity and accessibility of the system is guaranteed by a complex interaction of actors, based on the compatibility of technologies and the centralized distribution of name space.
The control of the access to the Internet resources is based on the technical subsystem of DNS, which is based on a hierarchical architecture.
The Internet integrity is ensured by the correct functioning of the top level of the DNS hierarchy.
The possibility of deliberate change of the top level functioning rules in the interests of an isolated Internet segment is a case of manipulative control of the network as the whole. It makes the network insecure.
