— In this paper, we propose a cost-based model to evaluate the resources that each node has to contribute for participating in an overlay network. Such a cost model allows to gau...
: The reliability of a communications network is often evaluated without taking into account the economic consequence of failures. Here a new approach is proposed to assess the eco...
Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) algorithms obtain good lookup performance bounds by using deterministic rules to organize peer nodes into an overlay network. To preserve the invaria...
Emerging peer-to-peer applications require efficient group communication. However, current techniques for group communication are not optimal for peer-to-peer networks, which do n...
Designing an overlay network for publish/subscribe communication in a system where nodes may subscribe to many different topics of interest is of fundamental importance. For scala...
