Unstructured peer-to-peer systems rely on strategies and data structures (Routing Indices) for the routing of requests in the network. For those requests corresponding to informati...
Finding information in a peer-to-peer system currently requires either a costly and vulnerable central index, or flooding the network with queries. In this paper we introduce the...
Traditional routing indices in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are mainly designed for document retrieval applications and maintain aggregated one-dimensional values representing the ...
Recently, the problem of efficiently supporting advanced query operators, such as nearest neighbor or range queries, over multidimensional data in widely distributed environments...
—In many systems providing storage and retrieval operations on data, indices are used to make these operations more efficient. Distributed storage systems provide means to distr...
