SoS: self-organizing substrates

Anwitaman Datta

Large-scale networked systems often, both by design or chance exhibit self-organizing properties. Understanding self-organization using tools from cybernetics, particularly modeling them as Markov processes is a first step towards a formal framework which ...

Congestion Control for Distributed Hash Tables

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Karl Aberer, Fabius Klemm

Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) provide a scalable mechanism for mapping identifiers to socket addresses. As each peer in the network can initiate lookup requests, a DHT has to process concurrently a potentially very large number of requests. In this paper, ...

Self-organizing structured peer-to-peer overlay networks

A peer-to-peer overlay network is a logical network, built on top of a physical network. In contrast to classical client-server distributed architectures, peer-to-peer overlay networks allow location of resources without centralized control. Existing overl ...

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 ...

A statistical physics perspective of complex networks

Thomas Petermann

A statistical physics perspective of complex networks: from the architecture of the Internet and the brain to the spreading of an epidemic Statistical physics has revealed itself as the ideal framework to describe large networks appearing in a variety of d ...

Denial-of-service resilience in peer-to-peer file sharing systems

Willy Zwaenepoel, Dan Mihai Dumitriu

Peer-to-peer (p2p) file sharing systems are characterized by highly replicated content distributed among nodes with enormous aggregate resources for storage and communication. These properties alone are not sufficient, however, to render p2p networks immun ...

Synchronization in complex networks with blinking interactions

Martin Hasler, Igor Belykh

We propose a new model of small-world networks of cells with a time-varying coupling and study its synchronization properties. In each time interval of length /spl tau/ such a coupling is switched on with probability p and the corresponding switching rando ...

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 ...

Building trust-aware P2P systems

Zoran Despotovic

This thesis is concerned with enabling e-commerce applications in decentralized environments, P2P networks in particular. The work goes along the following two dimensions: P2P reputation systems design and building P2P e-commerce services and applications. ...

Decentralized Network Coding

Christina Fragouli, Emina Soljanin

This paper proposes deterministic algorithms for decentralized network coding. Decentralized coding allows to locally specify the coding operations at network nodes without knowledge of the overall network topology, and to accommodate future changes in the ...
