The Social Impact of P2P Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The chapter deals with the social impact of P2P systems in light of a bidirectional connection by which technological developments influence, in a complex and often unpredictable way, the social environment whereas the dynamic evolution of the latter does affect technological progress. From this perspective, the aim is to deepen legal issues, sociological trends, economical aspects, and political dimensions of P2P technology, along with some of its next possible outputs, in order to assess one of the most compelling alternatives to the traditional frame of highly centralized human interaction.

Peer-to-peer applications (P2P) are no longer limited to home users, and start being accepted in academic and corporate environments. While file sharing and instant messaging applications are the most traditional examples, they are no longer the only ones benefiting from the potential advantages of P2P networks. For example, network file storage, data transmission, distributed computing, and co...
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 ...
متن کاملSociable P2P: using social information in P2P systems
This paper examines the role for social information in peer-to-peer content sharing and distribution systems. Much work in P2P research has taken, as fundamental assumptions, that participants in a P2P network consist of largely anonymous and self-interested agents. As such, cooperation and public good problems arise when rational peers prefer to free-ride rather than contribute; various incent...
متن کاملA Empirically Validated Framework for Limiting Free-Riding in P2P Networks through the Use of Social Network Information
In order to overcome the problem of free-riding in current P2P system, we suggest applying social network theory. Based on our exploration of the overlapping research fields of social networks and peer-to-peer networks, we propose a new P2P framework within this paper. It specifies social network information that can be used in a P2P system to avoid performance inefficiencies caused by free-rid...
متن کاملSupporting Data Privacy in P2P Systems
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems have been very successful for large-scale data sharing. However, sharing sensitive data, like in online social networks, without appropriate access control, can have undesirable impact on data privacy. Data can be accessed by everyone (by potentially untrusted peers) and used for everything (e.g., for marketing or activities against the owner’s preferences or ethics)....
