Pedro García-López, from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili, presented a keynote speech at IEEE P2P'13!
Abstract: There is an ongoing battle between the forces of centralization and decentralization in several human fields (energy, economics, politics, …). In computing, these tidal waves of hype have periodically raised some boats while sunk some others. In particular, P2P rode the hype wave the past decade but now seems an outdated technology. Cloud Computing and Big Data are the current buzzwords where centralization is again the dominant trend. But unlike other old trendy topics, the P2P community captured the essence of decentralization. And decentralization is here to stay, … and come back.
