Peer-to-Peer Overlay Network Based on Swarm Intelligence

As the number of information in the Internet constantly increases and the complexity of systems rapidly grows, locating and manipulating complex data has become a difficult task. We propose a self-organizing approach that combines purely decentralized unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) with space based computing in order to effectively locate and retrieve information from a network. The approach is inspired by swarm intelligence, is distributive and autonomous. As the scalability is a common open issue both for unstructured P2P networks and for coordination models, our approach successfully copes with that by using a biologically inspired multi-agent system. Benchmarks demonstrate powerful query capabilities with a good scalability.
