We outline a lightweight architecture to support novel application scenarios for P2P systems. These scenarios include merging and splitting of large networks, or multiplexing rela...
Abstract. The effective localization of the right resources is a challenging issue at the current stage of development of P2P systems in presence of a high number of peers providi...
Television and the Internet have proven to be a popular combination for both broadcasters and viewers. Because of this popularity they are increasingly facing the consequences of c...

Internet Connectivity Establishment (ICE) is becoming increasingly important for P2P systems on the open Internet, as it enables NAT-bound peers to provide accessible services. A ...
Replication and caching have been deployed widely in current P2P systems. In update-allowed P2P systems, a consistency maintenance mechanism is strongly demanded. Several solution...
In a hybrid peer-to-peer (P2P) system, flooding and DHT are both employed for content locating. The decision to use flooding or DHT largely depends on the population of desired da...

We investigate performance bounds of P2P systems by application of the law of bandwidth conservation. This approach is quite general and allows us to consider various sharing syst...
Incentive mechanisms are essential components of peer-topeer systems for file sharing such as BitTorrent, since they enforce peers to share their resources and to participate. Re...

—Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems gain much attention in recent years. According to many statistics, P2P systems contribute a significant portion of the Internet traffic. Individual In...
—Peer-to-peer (P2P) is becoming a key technology for software development, but still lacks integrated solutions to build trust in the final software, in terms of correctness and...
