Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems share and manage huge amounts of data and resources distributed across a large number of machines. In pure P2P environments the control is totally decent...
Testing peer-to-peer (P2P) systems is difficult because of the high numbers of nodes which can be heterogeneous and volatile. A test case may be composed of several ordered action...
“Peer-to-peer” systems like Napster and Gnutella have recently become popular for sharing information. In this paper, we study the relevant issues and tradeoffs in designing a...
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 ...
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...

Streaming media applications are becoming more popular on the late years, as for example, news transmitted live through the web, music, show, and films. Traditional client/server...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing offers new opportunities for building highly distributed data systems. Unlike client-server computing, P2P can operate without central coordination and...
Abstract. Is it possible to treat large scale distributed systems as physical systems? The importance of that question stems from the fact that the behavior of many P2P systems is ...
In order to deal with free riding in P2P system, incentive mechanism or rating system is presented, and each user rating is computed by itself, which causes that some users exagger...
— When a P2P system has millions of concurrently active peers, there is the risk that it could serve as a DDoS engine for attacks against a targeted host. In this paper we descri...
