Concurrency and distribution pose algorithmic and implementation challenges in developing reliable distributed systems, making the field an excellent testbed for evaluating programming language and verification paradigms. Several specialized domain-specifi ...
There have been many proposals for constructing routing tables for Distributed Hash Tables (DHT). They can be classified into two groups: A) those that assume that the peers are uniformly randomly distributed in the identifier space, and B) those that allo ...
In recent time, the idea of collecting and combining large public data sets and services became more and more popular. The special characteristics of such systems and the requirements of the participants demand for strictly decentralized solutions. However ...
We consider streaming video content over an overlay network of peer nodes. Each of the nodes employs a mesh-pull mechanism to organize the download of data units from its neighbours. We propose a novel algorithm for constructing the distribution overlay, w ...

Peer-To-Peer systems are driving a major paradigm shift in the era of genuinely distributed computing. Gnutella is a good exam- ple of a Peer-To-Peer success story: a rather simple software enables Internet users to freely exchange files, such as MP3 music ...

There has been an increasing research interest in developing full-text retrieval based on peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. So far, these research efforts have largely concentrated on efficiently distributing an index. However, ranking of the results retrieve ...
