Abstract
We propose a self-organizing archival Intermemory.That is, a noncommercial subscriber-provided distributedinformation storage service built on the existingInternet. Given an assumption of continued growthin the memory's total size, a subscriber's participationfor only a finite time can nevertheless ensure archivalpreservation of the subscriber's data. Information dispersesthrough the network over time and memories becomemore difficult to erase as they age. The probabilityof losing an...Keywords
