ABSTRACT
Every person has their own serendipitous moments; joyful moments that they hope can be kept in their mind forever. Unfortunately our memory can sometimes fail to retrieve all the details of when, where, and why something happened. Today, with advances in technology, we are able to capture our serendipitous moments as digital images, videos, audio, text, and other forms of data, making use of the huge capacities of computer storage available to us. To capitalize on this, we describe a system that combines the technologies

of digital human life memory stores with peer-to-peer networking. As well as allowing the storage, annotation, and indexing of digital human life memories, such a system can also support the sharing of memories and personal serendipitous moments between trusted peer group members. Such a system can not only correlate the memories of a single user, but can also find relationships between memories, such as serendipitous moments, shared with multiple users across the peer-to-peer network. Based on these ideas we propose a flexible and scalable system for storing serendipitous moments in a human life memory framework using a peer-to-peer network that allows them to be shared between friends without the need for a central server.
