Abstract. Despite their crucial impact on the performances of p2p systems, very few is known on peers behaviors in such networks. We propose here a study of these behaviors in a ru...
— Mutual exclusion is one of the well-studied fundamental primitives in distributed systems. However, the emerging P2P systems bring forward several challenges that can’t be co...
In most of the P2P systems developed so far, all nodes play essentially the same role. In some applications, however, different machine capabilities or owner preferences may mean ...
In P2P systems, users often have many choices of peers from whom to download their data. Each user cares primarily about its own response time, which depends on how many other use...
In the hope of stimulating discussion, we present a heuristic decision tree that designers can use to judge how suitable a P2P solution might be for a particular problem. It is bas...

: Since the advent of Gnutella, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) protocols have matured towards a fundamental design element for large-scale, self-organising distributed systems. Many research e...
Abstract: File-sharing in mobile networks has differing demands to a P2P architecture. Resource access and mediation techniques must follow constraints given in 2.5G/3G networks. E...

The interesting properties of P2P systems (high availability despite peer volatility, support for heterogeneous architectures, high scalability, etc.) make them attractive for dist...
Abstract. The unprecedented growth and increased importance of geographically distributed spatial data has created a strong need for efficient sharing of such data. Interestingly, ...
Abstract. The ever-increasing popularity of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems provides a strong motivation for designing a dependable P2P system. Dependability in P2P systems can be viewe...
