A Scalable Peer-to-Peer Presence Directory

Instant Messaging (IM) has emerged as a popular communication service over the Internet. One of the themes of IM systems is to provide a presence directory that carries information on user’s presence or absence to his/her friends. In this paper, we present new presence directory architecture and give a comparison of existing presence directories. We first introduce the distributed buddy-list se...

A New Limited Directory

The cache coherence scheme for a scalable distributed shared memory multiproces-sor should be eecient in terms of memory overhead for maintaining the directories, as well as network latency for a memory request. In this paper, we propose a cache coherence scheme which minimizes the memory access delay and at the same time, reduces the directory overhead by using a limited directory scheme. In t...

Design and Implementation of a Web directory for Medical Education (WDME): a Tool to Facilitate Research in Medical Education

Introduction: Access to the medical education resources on the web is one of current challenges for researchers and medical science educators. The purpose of current project was to design and implement a comprehensive and specific subject/web directory of medical education. Methods: First, the categories to be incorporated in the directory were defined through reviewing related directories an...

A Distributed Directory System

We see the local content from peers organized in directories (i.e., on local ordered lists) of local representations of entities from the real world (e.g., persons, locations, events). Different local representations can give different “versions” of the same real world entity and use different names to refer to it (e.g., George Lombardi, Lombardi G., Prof. Lombardi, Dad). Although the data from...
