Many “ubiquitous computing” applications need a constant flow of information about their environment to be able to adapt to their changing context. To support these “contex...
MOPED (MObile grouPEd Device) is a network model that treats a user’s set of personal devices as a single, virtual device. The nodes of the MOPED dynamically aggregate available...
There is an increasing interest in using P2P as a basis for software systems. However, by their very nature, achieving dependability within a P2P system can be difficult. This pap...
This paper describes the architecture and the implementation of Multishelf - a decentralized Peerto-Peer infomediator. Multishelf was designed and built during a ten-week senior s...

Emerging peer-to-peer applications require efficient group communication. However, current techniques for group communication are not optimal for peer-to-peer networks, which do n...
Decentralized file-sharing systems like Napster [11] and Gnutella [23] have popularized the peer-to-peer approach [18,20,22], which emphasizes the use of distributed resources in ...
The combination of peer-to-peer networking and agentbased computing seems to be a perfect match. Agents are cooperative and communication oriented, while peerto-peer networks typi...

In most peer-to-peer systems, edge resources self-organize into overlay networks. At the core of Freenet-style peer-to-peer systems are insert and request algorithms that dynamica...

In this paper, we present the concept of Passive Distributed Indexing, a general-purpose distributed search service for mobile file sharing applications, which is based on peer-to...
