Automated Sharing for Communal Progress

How do you share good work and information? Do you have to upload it somewhere and then market it? Well, that works for "celebrities," but not for everybody. Let's be smarter. Given a specific metric, machines can cooperate to share work (e.g., implementations, data, information) when the work is reportedly "better," according to that metric. The idea is that over time, all machines in our system will substantially improve, based on their collective progress. Examples include: (a) sharing code/apps, (b) sharing configurations, (c) sharing observations in participatory sensing. In addition to implementing a system to carry out sharing, we will discuss trust issues, conflict resolution (how to reconcile different opinions), and relevant metrics (how to judge "better").
