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.

New Architecture and Protocols for Global-Scale Machine Communities
This article is about a new universal architecture which allows electronic devices of different functionalities and manufacturers, as well as on-line services, to seamlessly interoperate with each other in the global scope of the Internet. The main idea is that electronic devices and on-line services all over the world can join together by means of the Internet and form so called virtual communities. Within the bounds of these communities all the members can seamlessly discover each other by many different search criteria, establish dynamic cooperation sessions, control each other and monitor internal state within the bounds of established dynamic cooperation.

Single-attribute Distributed Metrized Small World Data Structure
Our paper, which was sent to IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Intelligent Systems 2009. In this paper we discuss the basic variant of the structure which can store data units with a single searchable attribute in the form of a unique string and any amount of non-searchable data. One important application of this form of the structure are content-addressable systems (CAS) which map a content- derived identifier to the content element. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed structure has logarithmical search complexity, avoids access bottlenecks and can be dynamically scaled to large numbers of data units.
Content Addressable Storage (in Russian)
This presentation overviews the structure of content-addressable storages (CAS) and their general characteristics. The paper also reviews the possibility of use of Metrized Small World (MSW) data structure for creation of CAS systems.

Metrized Small World Properties Based Data Structure
This paper gives an overview of an innovative data structure named Metrized Small World (MSW). The data stored in the structure is represented as a set of structured storage units on which a semi-metric can be defined which characterizes the relative relevance of each unit. Then a complex graph can be constructed whose vertices are the storage units and the edges are selected in such a way that the graph has the small world properties and is in accordance with the introduced metric. Due to the special properties of the constructed graph, the search is accomplished on average in the number of steps logarithmic of the storage size. The paper covers the main algorithms on the data structure as well as the properties of MSW data structure which were obtained experimentally on the prototype of the structure. See also the presentation for this paper.
Metrized Small World Based Data Structure
This paper describes in detail the Metrized Small World (MSW) data structure. The main principle is to link all data units whereby every data unit has to have the local only link list to provide the associative search mechanism by roaming in compliance to the links to all data units which are relevant to the input search mask. The known Small World stochastic graphs space equipped by semi-metric model is used to create the links for every new data unit. The XML data unit semi-metrics are developed and investigated to use this approach to create the distributed index. Testing of the search features has shown that the theoretical assumptions are correct and we can use the MSW approach to build the petabyte and exabyte storages.

Active XML Database Architecture
This paper gives an overview of the new database architecture to build very large, scalable, loosely structured distributed data storage. The main idea is that every data unit is active, capable of communication with other data units and database clients. Combined with the special overlay structure incrementally formed by data units (Metrized Small World Graph) this provides for effective distribution of data units among database servers and unbounded scalability of the resulting storage ensuring logarithmic search and append complexity. The paper covers the structure of the database, its properties and essential algorithms used in its operation.

Implementation of 802.11n on 128-core processor
This article presents the results of a research in applying modern Graphics Processing Units in the field of telecommunications. The most recent Wireless Local Area Network protocol, 802.11n, was studied, as it introduces a significant increase of computational complexity. Taking into consideration the concept of Software Defined Radio, the implementation of PHY algorithms was devised on a modern programmable 128-core GPU. It was shown that a significant performance increase could be obtained through applying this novel approach. Our experiments had shown more than 8x performance boost. The article also discusses the approach of utilizing a GPU as a networking device. The author shows how a GPU could be effectively used as a Digital Signal Processing unit of a real communication device.
