Abstract— Today data sources are pervasive and their number is growing tremendously. Current tools are not prepared to exploit this unprecedented amount of information and to cop...
Decentralized and unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks such as Gnutella are attractive for large-scale information retrieval and search systems due to scalability, fault-tolera...
To improve search efficiency and reduce unnecessary traffic in Peerto-Peer (P2P) networks, this paper proposes a trust-based probabilistic search algorithm, called preferential wa...
— The success of a P2P file-sharing network highly depends on the scalability and versatility of its search mechanism. Two particularly desirable search features are scope (abil...
