Despite recent excitement generated by the peer-to-peer (P2P) paradigm and the surprisingly rapid deployment of some P2P applications, there are few quantitative evaluations of P2...
In this paper, we build an analytical framework for the design and analysis of a new family of social norm based incentive mechanisms for peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. With this fr...
In this paper, we develop simple models to study the performance of BitTorrent, a second generation peer-to-peer (P2P) application. We first present a simple fluid model and stu...
— The arrival of the P2P model has opened many new avenues for research within the field of distributed computing. This is mainly due to important practical features (such as su...
