Indexing in Peer-to-peer Systems

On peer-to-peer (P2P) content delivery

In both academia and industry, peer-to-peer (P2P) applications have attracted great attentions. P2P applications such as Napster, Gnutella, FastTrack, BitTorrent, Skype and PPLive, have witnessed tremendous success among the end users. Unlike a client-server based system, peers bring with them serving capacity. Therefore, as the demand of a P2P system grows, the capacity of the network grows, t...

Efficient Peer-to-Peer Content Distribution

We consider the problem of distributing data to a large and dynamic network of nodes. We formalize the next-step problem, which is intuitively the next action that each peer in the content distribution network should take, where an action is the transfer of one file part from a neighboring node. We formulate the next-step problem as an integer programming problem and use a probabilistic graphic...

Towards enabling peer-to-peer Grids

In this paper we propose a peer-to-peer (P2P) grid comprising resources such as relatively static clients, high-end resources and a dynamic collection of multiple P2P subsystems. We investigate the architecture of the messaging and event service that will support such a hybrid environment. We designed a distributed publish-subscribe system NaradaBrokering for XML specified messages. NaradaBroke...

Towards Next-Generation Peer-to-Peer Systems

The Internet has changed from a statically, television-like web page space to a highly heterogeneous and extremely dynamic information platform. No other technology forced that development like Peer-to-Peer. This short paper will briefly summarize emerging trends and promising concepts for Peer-to-Peer systems and describe upcoming challenges for developers.
