Abstract—Nodes within existing P2P networks typically exchange periodic keep-alive messages in order to maintain network connections between neighbours. This paper investigates a...
Scheduling large amounts of tasks in distributed computing platforms composed of millions of nodes is a challenging goal, even more in a fully decentralized way and with low overhe...
Ad hoc groups, such as peer-to-peer (P2P) systems and mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent recent technological advancements. They support low-cost, scalable and fault-tolera...
An important issue arising from Peer-to-Peer applications is how to accurately and efficiently retrieve a set of K best matching data objects from different sources while minimizi...
