A Comparison of Structured and Unstructured P2P Approaches to Heterogeneous Random Peer Selection
Random peer selection is used by numerous P2P applications; examples include application-level multicast, unstructured file sharing, and network location mapping. In most of thes...

Starting with Termination: A Methodology for Building Distributed Garbage Collection Algorithms
We propose an effective methodology in which a distributed garbage collector may be derived from a distributed termination algorithm and a centralized garbage collector in a manne...
