FreeDOM: a new baseline for the web

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library

Abstract	Free web services often face growing pains. In the current client-server access model, the cost of providing a service increases with its popularity. This leads organizations that want to provide services free-of-charge to rely to donations, advertisements, or mergers with larger companies to cope with operational costs. This paper proposes an alternative architecture for deploying services that allows more web services to be offered for free. We leverage recent developments in web technologies to combine the portability of the existing web with the user-powered scalability of distributed P2P solutions. We show how this solution addresses issues of user security, data sharing, and application distribution. By employing an easily composable communication interface and rich storage permissions, the FreeDOM architecture encourages flexible interactions between applications while enforcing privacy controls. We demonstrate the applicability of this architecture by presenting a SQL database and a community-supported Wiki as case studies.
