Dr.Liu is an expert in the areas of Database Systems, Distributed Systems, Internet Systems, and Web Services. She is currently on the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Engineering, Internatonal Journal of Very Large Databases, International Journal of Web Services Research, and International Journals of Grid and Utility Computing. Dr. Liu has chaired multiple conferences as a PC chair on various themes of data intensive distributed computing systems, including IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (co-PC chair of ICDE 2006, Vice PC Chair of ICDE04), a PC chair of IEEE Int. Conf. on Collaborative Computing (2005), and a PC chair of IEEE Int. Conf. on Web Services (ICWS 2004), ODBASE 2002, ACM CIKM 2001, RIDE 2001. Dr. Liu is a recipient of IBM Faculty Award (2003).

Abstract:Collaborative computing has emerged as a promising paradigm for developing large-scale distributed systems. Peer to Peer (P2P) and Grid computing represent a significant step towards global collaboration, a fundamental capability of network computing. P2P systems are decentralized, self-organizing, and self-repairing distributed systems that cooperate to exchange data and accomplish computing tasks. These systems have transpired as the dominant consumer of residential Internet subscribers' bandwidth, and are being increasingly used in many different application domains. With rapid advances in wireless and mobile communication technologies, such as wireless mesh networks, wireless LANs, and 3G cellular networks, P2P computing is moving into wireless networking, mobile computing, and sensor network applications. In this keynote, I will discuss some important opportunities and challenges of Peer to Peer networks and applications towards global collaborative computing paradigm. I will first review the P2P research and development in the past few years, focusing on the remarkable results produced in P2P system scalability, robustness, distributed storage, and system measurements, the continued evolution of P2P systems, and how today's state-of-the-art developments differentiate from earlier instantiations, such as Napster, Gnutella, KaZaA, and Morpheus. Then I will discuss some important challenges for wide deployment of P2P computing in mission-critical applications and future computing environments.
