Indexing data-oriented overlay networks

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth, Anwitaman Datta, Roman Schmidt

We address the problem of how a data-oriented, structured overlay networks can be constructed efficiently from scratch in a self-organized way, a problem that has so far not been addressed in the literature. This problem occurs when using overlay networks ...

Dynamic and fault-tolerant cluster management

Recent decentralised event-based systems have focused on providing event delivery which scales with increasing number of processes. While the main focus of research has been on ensuring that processes maintain only a small amount of information on maintain ...

Handling Identity in Peer-to-Peer Systems

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth, Anwitaman Datta

Due to the limited number of available IP addresses most computers on the Internet use dynamic IP addresses which causes problems for applications that have to maintain rout-ing tables, for example, peer-to-peer systems. To overcome this we propose unique ...

PIX-Grid: A Platform for P2P photo exchange

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth, Philippe Cudré-Mauroux, Anwitaman Datta

The proliferation of digital camera devices (stand-alone or combined with cell phones), new protocols such as MMS and the desire of people to com-municate and share their experience call for new systems to support these needs in new Internet-scale infrastr ...

Extremum feedback with partial knowledge

Jörg Widmer

A scalable feedback mechanism to solicit feedback from a potentially very large group of networked nodes is an important building block for many network protocols. Multicast transport protocols use it for negative acknowledgements and for delay and packet ...

On Optimal Update Policies and Cluster Sizes for 2-Tier Distributed Systems

Anwitaman Datta, Prasenjit Dey

We try to analyze a generic model for 2-tier distributed systems, exploring the possibility of optimal cluster sizes from an information management perspective, such that the overall cost for updating and searching information may be minimized by adopting ...

A Framework for Semantic Gossiping

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth, Philippe Cudré-Mauroux

Today the problem of semantic interoperability in information search on the Internet is solved mostly by means of centralization, both at a sys-tem and at a logical level. This approach has been successful to a certain extent. Peer-to-peer systems as a new ...

OS Support for P2P: a Case for TPS

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster

Just like Remote Procedure Call (RPC) turned out to be a very effective OS abstraction in building client-server applications over LANs, Type-based Publish-Subscribe (TPS) can be viewed as a high-level candidate OS abstraction for building Peer-to-Peer (P2 ...

Ruminations on Domain-Based Reliable Broadcast

Fernando Pedone

A distributed system is no longer confined to a single administrative domain. Peer-to-peer applications and business-to-business e-commerce systems, for example, typically span multiple local-area and wide-area networks, raising issues of trust, security, ...
