Semantic Overlay Clusters within Super-Peer Networks
When joining information provider peers to a peer-to-peer network, an arbitrary distribution is sub-optimal. In fact, clustering peers by their characteristics, enhances search and integration significantly. Currently super-peer networks, such as the Edutella network, provide no sophisticated means for such a ”semantic clustering” of peers. We introduce the concept of semantic overlay clusters (SOC) for super-peer networks enabling a controlled distribution of peers to clusters. In contrast to the recently announced semantic overlay network approach designed for flat, pure peer-to-peer topologies and for limited meta data sets, such as simple filenames, we allow a clustering of complex heterogeneous schemes known from relational databases and use advantages of super-peer networks, such as efficient search and broadcast of messages. Our approach is based on predefined policies defined by human experts. Based on such policies a fully decentralized broadcast- and matching approa...
