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 ...
This paper describes a novel approach for obtaining semantic interoperability among data sources in a bottom-up, semi-automatic manner without relying on pre-existing, global semantic models. We assume that large amounts of data exist that have been organi ...
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 ...
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 ...
The key principles behind current peer-to-peer research include fully distributing service functionality among all nodes participating in the system and routing individual requests based on a small amount of locally maintained state. The goals extend much ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 thesis describes the Peer-to-Peer Application Gridella. The decentralized architecture of P2P systems enables each peer to fulfill search requests solely by local interactions. The system described in this thesis scales to high numbers of peers and da ...
