P2P content distribution networks have become extremely popular on the Internet. Due to their self-organization properties, they suffer from the lack of control to balance the load among peers for contents of different popularity. In this paper, we define ...
Leveraged by the success of applications aiming at the ``free'' sharing of data in the Internet, the paradigm of peer-to-peer (P2P) computing has been devoted substantial consideration recently. This paper presents an abstraction for remote object interact ...
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 ...
Managing trust is a problem of particular importance in peer-to-peer environments as one encounters frequently unknown agents. Existing methods for trust management based on reputation do however not scale as they rely on some form of central database or g ...
In the context of robust statistics, the breakdown point of an estimator is an important feature of reliability. It measures the highest fraction of contamination in the data that an estimator can support before being destroyed. In geostatistics, variogram ...
The P-Grid approach enables distributed search and replication. Gridella, a P2P system based on P-Grid, improves on Gnutella’s search performance while reducing bandwidth requirements. Fu ...
This paper provides a quantative comparison of the efficiency of the self-organized construction processes of the P-Grid and FreeNet peer-to-peer systems. Starting from a defined, realistic network topology we simulate the construction of their access stru ...

A new architecture for GIS is presented based on a systems view of geographical space as it is popular in geography. Starting with concepts of spatial modelling, current GIS standards are examined for their suitability to support different modelling concep ...
This paper describes our Gnutella compatible P2P system Gridella which is based on the P-Grid approach. P-Grid has several advantages over the standard Gnutella infrastructure, for example, that probabilistic estimates can be given for successful search re ...
