Centralized Versus Decentralized Control - A Solvable Stylized Model in Transportation

Olivier Gallay

To analyze the potential outcomes resulting from interaction between autonomous decision-making "smart parts" in logistics networks, we propose here an exactly solvable stylized model that is able to quantify how much the dynamics can be enhanced by (fully ...

Implementing a P2P Social Network - Early Experiences and Insights from PeerSoN

Anwitaman Datta, Sonja Buchegger

To address privacy concerns in Online Social Networks (OSNs), we propose to use a distributed, peer-to-peer approach coupled with encryption. To verify the feasibility of such an approach, we designed a two-tiered architecture and protocols that recreate t ...

Storing and Indexing Spatial Data in P2P Systems

The peer-to-peer (P2P) paradigm has become very popular for storing and sharing information in a totally decentralized manner. At first, research focused on P2P systems that host 1D data. Nowadays, the need for P2P applications with multidimensional data h ...

Towards Fair Event Dissemination

Rachid Guerraoui, Maxime Monod

Event dissemination in large scale dynamic systems is typically claimed to be best achieved using decentralized peer-to-peer architectures. The rationale is to have every participant in the system act both as a client (information consumer) and as a server ...

A Probabilistic Framework for Decentralized Management of Trust and Quality

Karl Aberer

In this paper, we propose a probabilistic framework targeting three important issues in the computation of quality and trust in decentralized systems. Specifically, our approach addresses the multi-dimensionality of quality and trust, taking into account c ...

Self-Organizing Schema Mappings in the GridVine Peer Data Management System

Karl Aberer, Philippe Cudré-Mauroux, Parisa Haghani, Adriana Budura

GridVine is a Peer Data Management System based on a decentralized access structure. Built following the principle of data independence, it separates a logical layer -- where data, schemas and mappings are managed -- from a physical layer consisting of a s ...

Scale-up of batch processes via decentralized control

Dominique Bonvin, Benoît Chachuat, Michael Amrhein, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti

The economic environment in the specialty chemicals industry requires short times to market and thus the ability to develop new products and processes very rapidly. This, in turn, calls for large scale-ups from laboratory to production. Due to scale-relate ...

Distributed link-based ranking in P2P Web retrieval

Jie Wu

One of the main differences between modern search engines and traditional ones is the adoption of link-based ranking algorithm in ordering Web documents. Google has claimed that it is its link-based ranking algorithm, PageRank that has made the quality of ...

Probabilistic Estimation of Peers’ Quality and Behaviors for Subjective Trust Evaluation

Karl Aberer

The management of trust and quality in decentralized systems has been recognized as a key research area over recent years. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic computational approach to enable a peer in the system to model and estimate the quality and ...

Semantic Overlay Networks

Karl Aberer, Philippe Cudré-Mauroux

In a handful of years only, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems have become an integral part of the Internet. After a few key successes related to music-sharing (e.g., Napster or Gnutella), they rapidly developed and are nowadays firmly established in various conte ...
