—Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have been shown to be a promising approach to providing large-scale Video-on-Demand (VoD) services over the Internet for their potential scalability....
Free-riders and fake files are two important problems in P2P file sharing systems. Previous works have always used incentive mechanisms and trust mechanisms to address them resp...
— Previous analytical studies [12], [18] of unstructured P2P resilience have assumed exponential user lifetimes and only considered age-independent neighbor replacement. In this ...
In this paper we describe a novel solution for delay sensitive one-to-many content distribution in P2P networks based on cooperative m-ary trees. Our scheme maximizes the overall ...
A fundamental problem that confronts decentralized reputation systems is the design of efficient, secure and incentive-compatible mechanisms to gather trust information despite m...
