abstract = {'Distributed wiki' is a generic term covering various systems, including 'peer-to-peer wiki', 'mobile wiki', 'offline wiki', 'federated wiki' and others. Distributed wikis distribute their pages among the sites of autonomous participants to address various motivations, including high availability of data, new collaboration models and different viewpoints of subjects. Although existing systems share some common basic concepts, it is often difficult to understand the specificity of each one, the underlying complexities or the best context in which to use it. In this paper, we define, classify and characterize distributed wikis. We identify three classes of distributed wiki systems, each using a different collaboration model and distribution scheme for its pages: highly available wikis, decentralized social wikis and federated wikis. We classify existing distributed wikis according to these classes. We detail their underlying complexities and social and technical motivations. We also highlight some directions for research and opportunities for new systems with original social and technical motivations. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.},

We present P2Pedia, a social peer-to-peer wiki system, where users have their own local repository and can collaborate by creating, discovering, editing, and sharing pages with their peers but without synchronizing them. Multiple versions of each page can thus co-exist on each repository and across the network, which allows for multiple points of view. Browsing or searching the wiki thus yields multiple page versions; to help the user's page selection process, the system annotates search results with trust indicators based on the distribution of each version in the peer repositories and the topology of the social network. We describe an experimental study where the system was deployed for academic writing exercises, and we analyze the results to validate different aspects of this collaboration principle. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.},

Our framework models a file-sharing network as a coupled model, comprising a network model and a large number of peer models. While most available network simulation tools focus on transportlevel dynamics, we provide extensible and reusable models for the file-sharing protocol and for the behavior of peers. These models, implemented using the CD++ toolkit, can readily be used on existing simulators, including parallel and real-time simulators. As a case study, we apply our framework to simulate a P2P web, and show the emergence of an interesting page distribution. © 2012 IEEE.},

Our wiki system supports a non-traditional collaboration model, where each participant maintains their own version of the documents. The users share their contributions in the P2P network, which allows them to be exposed to multiple viewpoints, and to reuse each other's work. We collected and analyzed the contributions of the participants to these tutorials, and the results demonstrate the value of this collaboration model. In particular, we found the popularity of a document in the system is correlated with its quality, and the similarity between contributions of peers is a good predictor of future similarities. These properties provide helpful criteria for users to identify valuable material for reuse. © 2012 IEEE.},
