P2P data stores excel if availability of inserted data items must be guaranteed. Their inherent mechanisms to counter peer pop- ulation dynamics make them suitable for a wide range of application domains. This paper presents and analyzes the split maintena ...
In the past, the problem of semantic interoperability in information systems was mostly solved by means of centralization, both at a system and at a logical level. This approach has been successful to a certain extent, but offers limited scalability and fl ...
This paper makes a step in identifying the state of the art in semantic P2P systems. On one hand, lot of research in the P2P systems community has focused on fault-tolerance and scalability, resulting in numberous algorithms, systems such as Chord, Pastry ...
Several recent studies identify the memory system as the most frequent source of hardware failures in commercial servers. Techniques to protect the memory system from failures must continue to service memory requests, despite hardware failures. Furthermore ...
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 ...
Unstructured overlay networks are driven by simple protocols that are easy to analyze and implement. The lack of structure, however, leads to weak message delivery guarantees and poor scaling. Structured overlays impose a global overlay topology that is th ...
Query-load (forwarding and answering) balancing in structured overlays is one of the most critical and least studied problems. It has been assumed that caching heuristics can take care of it. We expose that caching, while necessary, is not in itself suffic ...
Gossip-based communication protocols are appealing in large-scale distributed applications such as information dissemination, aggregation, and overlay topology management. This paper factors out a fundamental mechanism at the heart of all these protocols: ...
The correct functioning of a peer-to-peer network relies on cooperative behavior of peers as service providers. Current approaches to detection and deterrence of non-cooperative behavior, such as reputation systems, rely on (1) global sharing of observatio ...
Quite a few data-oriented overlay networks have been designed in recent years. These designs often (implicitly) assume various homogeneity which seriously limit their usability in real world. In this paper we present some performance results of the Oscar o ...
