In this paper we use game theory to study nodes’ behavior in peer-to-peer networks when nodes receive service based on their reputation. Reputation is used as a mechanism to inc...
Constructing models of systems that change their structure over time has proved to be a challenging problem, with several proposed solutions. We present two of these approaches an...

In this paper we focus on the design of high performance peer-to-peer content sharing systems. In particular, our goal is to achieve global load balancing and short user-request r...

We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Over the last few years, more and more heuristic decision making techniques have been inspired by nature, e.g. evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimisation and simulated annea...
