Abstract. We introduce a natural class of cellular automata characterised by a property of the local transition law without any assumption on the states set. We investigate some al...
The very nature of implementing and evaluating fully distributed algorithms or protocols in application-layer overlay networks involves certain programming tasks that are at best m...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are becoming increasingly popular and complex, serving millions of users today. However, the design of current unstructured P2P systems does not take ful...
In recent years, the gossip-based communication model in large-scale distributed systems has become a general paradigm with important applications which include information dissemi...
Simulation studies are frequently used to evaluate new peer-to-peer searching techniques as well as existing techniques on new applications. Unless these studies are accurate in th...
