Peer-to-peer file-sharing systems have hundreds of thousands of users sharing petabytes of data, however, their search functionality is limited. In general, query results contain...
Simultaneous overlay networks compete for network resources and disrupt each other. If they cooperate with each other, the collective performance can be improved and they can coex...
A number of solutions have been proposed to address the free-riding problem in peer-to-peer file sharing systems. The solutions are either imperfect–they allow some users to ch...
We address the problem of highly transient populations in unstructured and loosely-structured peerto-peer systems. We propose a number of illustrative query-related strategies and...
Distributed peer-to-peer systems rely on voluntary participation of peers to effectively manage a storage pool. In such systems, data is generally replicated for performance and a...
