—P2P computing platforms are subject to a wide range of attacks. In this paper, we propose a generalisation of the previous disk-less checkpointing approach for fault-tolerance i...
— Incentive protocols play a crucial role to encourage cooperation among nodes in networking applications. The aim of this paper is to provide a general analytical framework to a...
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...
Despite the advantages offered by pure Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks (e.g. robustness and fault tolerance), a crucial requirement is to guarantee basic security properties, such as ...
Abstract— The current approach in web searching, i.e., centralized search engines, rises issues that question their future applicability: 1) coverage and scalability, 2) freshnes...
