The popularity and bandwidth consumption attributed to current Peer-to-Peer file-sharing applications makes the operation of these distributed systems very important for the Inte...
Recently Peer-to-Peer networks (P2P) have gained great attention and popularity. One key challenging aspect in a P2P resource sharing environment is an efficient searching algorit...
Peer to peer overlay networks have proven to be a good support for storing and retrieving data in a fully decentralized way. A sound approach is to structure them in such a way tha...
To improve search efficiency and reduce unnecessary traffic in Peerto-Peer (P2P) networks, this paper proposes a trust-based probabilistic search algorithm, called preferential wa...
