Hi Christophe,

We (at LSR Data-base team) are working on DHT. More precisely,
we are working on search mechanisms that provide more expressiveness
to queries.

The most popular DHT are :
 CAN
 PAST: http://freepastry.rice.edu/
 Tapestry: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ravenben/tapestry/
 Chord: http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/chord/

If you need an overview of open problems in this field see :
