 LPD offers master projects in the following areas:
-  * **Multicore computing**: a project here would consist for instance in designing and implementing efficient lock-based or lock-free shared objects; please contact [[http://people.epfl.ch/vasileios.trigonakis|Vasileios Trigonakis]] or [[http://people.epfl.ch/tudor.david|Tudor David]] to get more information.
+  * **Dynamically Distributed Spatial Indexing**:  a project here would consist in studying existing spatial index data structures and algorithms, e.g., simple grids, Quadtrees, R-Trees etc., and how they may be dynamically distributed for indexing a large number of moving objects; please contact [[mailto:benoit.garbinato@unil.ch|Benoit Garbinato]] to get more information.
+  * **Multicore computing**: a project here would consist for instance in designing and implementing efficient lock-based or lock-free shared objects; please contact  [[http://people.epfl.ch/tudor.david|Tudor David]] or [[https://people.epfl.ch/igor.zablotchi|Igor Zablotchi]] to get more information.
   * **Dynamic distributed computing**: a project here would consist for instance in designing and implementing applications that would run in a simulation of a cloud with high churn, but possibly robust to arbitrary behavior of some of its components; please contact [[http://people.epfl.ch/matej.pavlovic|Matej Pavlovic]] to get more information.
-  * **Recommender systems**: Projects in context of recommender systems can be found here: __[[List of Projects]]__. If you are interested in any project, please contact [[http://people.epfl.ch/rhicheek.patra|Rhicheek Patra]].
+  * **Recommender systems, Distributed Machine Learning**: Projects in context of recommender systems can be found here: __[[List of Projects]]__ whereas projects in context of distributed machine learning can be found here: __[[Distributed ML]]__. If you are interested in any project, please contact [[http://people.epfl.ch/rhicheek.patra|Rhicheek Patra]] or [[http://people.epfl.ch/georgios.damaskinos|Georgios Damaskinos]].
   * **Distributed and Fault-tolerant algorithms**: projects here would consist in designing failure detection mechanisms suited for large-scale systems, real-time systems, and systems with unreliable communication or partial synchrony. This task also involves implementing, evaluating, and simulating the performance of the developed mechanisms to verify the achievable guarantees; please contact [[http://people.epfl.ch/david.kozhaya|David Kozhaya]] to get more information.
   * **Consistency in global-scale storage systems**: We offer several projects in the context of storage systems, ranging from implementation of social applications (similar to [[http://retwis.redis.io/|Retwis]], or [[https://github.com/share/sharejs|ShareJS]]) to recommender systems, static content storage services (à la [[https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/osdi10/tech/full_papers/Beaver.pdf|Facebook's Haystack]]), or experimenting with well-known cloud serving benchmarks (such as [[https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB|YCSB]]); please contact [[http://people.epfl.ch/dragos-adrian.seredinschi|Adrian Seredinschi]] for further information.
+  * **Distributed database algorithms**: a project here would consist in implementing and evaluating protocols that are running in today's database systems, e.g., [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-phase_commit_protocol|2PC]], and comparing them with those protocols that can  potentially be used in future database systems; please contact [[http://people.epfl.ch/jingjing.wang|Jingjing Wang]] to get more information.
+  * **Machine learning attacks privacy**: a project here would consist in implementing attacks to privacy-preserving platforms using machine learning (e.g., a neural network); please contact [[http://people.epfl.ch/mahsa.taziki|Mahsa Taziki]] to get more information.
