Anthill: a Framework for the Design and the Analysis of Peer-to-Peer Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The peer-to-peer (P2P) paradigm for building distributed applications has recently gained attention from both industry and the media, following the enormous success of P2P systems like Napster, Gnutella and Freenet. The multitude of P2P projects appeared recently must confront common problems including security, reliability and routing. Unfortunately, traditional techniques for dealing with these issues are not completely adequate, given the substantial increase in the scale of these systems. In this paper, we introduce a new approach for designing new peer-to-peer applications, based on the biological model of ant colony networks. Furthermore, we present Anthill, a framework supporting developers and researchers in the design and the analysis of new protocols based on this approach.

Anthill: A Framework for the Development of Agent-Based Peer-to-Peer Systems
Recent peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are characterized by decentralized control, large scale and extreme dynamism of their operating environment. As such, they can be seen as instances of complex adaptive systems (CAS) typically found in biological and social sciences. In this paper we describe Anthill, a framework to support the design, implementation and evaluation of P2P applications based on i...

متن کاملA Genetic Programming-based trust model for P2P Networks
Abstract— Peer-to-Peer ( P2P ) systems have been the center of attention in recent years due to their advantage . Since each node in such networks can act both as a service provider and as a client , they are subject to different attacks . Therefore it is vital to manage confidence for these vulnerable environments in order to eliminate unsafe peers . This paper investigates the use of genetic ...
