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...
Flooding and random walk (RW) are the two typical search algorithms in unstructured peer-to-peer networks. The flooding algorithm searches the network aggressively. It covers the m...
—In the past few years, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have become a promising paradigm for building a wide variety of distributed systems and applications. The most popular P2P app...
The advent of digital libraries along with the tremendous growth of digital content call for distributed and scalable approaches for managing vast data collections. Peer-to-peer (P...
