Abstract. Building distributed content–based publish/subscribe systems has remained a challenge. Existing solutions typically use a relatively small set of trusted computers as b...
Abstract. The vast majority of the interactions in typical online communities nowadays is between complete strangers. In such settings reputation reporting and trust management mod...
When joining information provider peers to a peer-to-peer network, an arbitrary distribution is sub-optimal. In fact, clustering peers by their characteristics, enhances search and...
Peer-to-peer systems are gaining popularity as a means to effectively share huge, massively distributed data collections. In this paper, we consider XML peers, that is, peers that ...
Abstract. Interest-based communities are a natural arrangement of distributed systems that prune the search space and allow for better dissemination of information to participating...
Recently, a new family of massive self-organizing networks has emerged that not only serve as a communication infrastructure, but also mainly as a distributed query processing syst...
In this paper we give a robust logical and computational characterisation of peer-to-peer (p2p) database systems. We first define a precise model-theoretic semantics of a p2p sys...

The popularity of peer-to-peer search networks continues to grow, even as the limitations to the scalability of existing systems become apparent. We propose a simple model for sear...
Abstract. We are witnessing a dramatic increase in the use of datacentric distributed systems such as global grid infrastructures, sensor networks, network monitoring, and various ...
