**Contexte et atouts du poste**:
This PhD thesis will take place in team COAST, under the supervision of Claudia-Lavinia Ignat, HDR, CRCN Inria, Inria center of Lorraine University and Gérald Oster, MCF, Lorraine University

**Mission confiée**:
File system services are essential for data sharing and collaboration among users. Most of the collaborative file system services such as GoogleDrive and Dropbox rely on a central authority and place personal information in the hands of a single large corporation which is a perceived privacy threat. Users must provide their data to the vendors of these services and trust them to preserve the privacy of their data, but they have little control over the usage of their data after sharing it with other users. Moreover, the centralisation of the platforms hosting these services makes their scalability and reliability very costly. They often limit the number of persons that can simultaneously modify shared data, they generally rely on costly infrastructures and do not allow sharing of infrastructure and administration costs, and centralisation is not suitable for collaboration among a federation of organizations that want to keep control over their data and do not want to store their data at a third party.

A collaborative file system has to support hybrid collaboration including several collaboration modes:

- connected where user modifications are immediately shared and visible to the other users
- disconnected where users are not connected to the network. User modifications will be transmitted to the other users at the reconnection
- ad-hoc collaboration where subgroups of users can work together and synchronise at a later time with other members of the group

We want to build a distributed collaborative file system where control over the data is given to users who can share it directly only with the users they trust and without having to store it at a central authority. The distributed collaborative file system has to support the mentioned collaboration modes and seamless switch from one mode to the others.

Data replication algorithms have to be reliable (i.e. after the reception of all modifications the replicas have to converge) and explainable (i.e., the decisions taken by these algorithms have to be understood by users and their intentions have to be respected). These algorithms have to be suitable for a large community of users that produces a large number of modifications with a high frequency. As data replication mechanism we propose to use CRDTs (Conflict-free Replication Data Types) [1] that respect Strong Eventual Consistency, a property that ensures convergence as soon as every replica has integrated the same modifications without further message exchange among replicas. Several works proposed CRDTs for file systems [2,3]. However, it rests to be investigated whether the proposed merging semantics satisfy user intentions.

The proposed solution will be tested with user studies.
