Abstract--With the rapid development of peer-to-peer networks, simulation is considered as a useful tool to demonstrate initial ideas before building prototypes with real network t...
This paper presents a support for the development of Distributed Virtual Environments (DVEs) on P2P architectures. A hierarchical overlay is defined by pairing each peer with a wei...
Unstructured overlay networks for peer-to-peer applications combined with stochastic algorithms for clustering and resource location are attractive due to low-maintenance costs and...
The World Wide Web is growing at such a pace that even the biggest centralized search engines are able to index only a small part of the available documents on the Internet. The d...
Due to the lack of stability and reliability in peer-to-peer networks, multimedia streaming over peer-to-peer networks represents several fundamental engineering challenges. First...
Although the ant metaphor has been successfully applied to routing of data packets both in wireless and fixed networks, little is known yet about its appropriateness for search i...
Peer-to-peer networks have been commonly used for tasks such as file sharing or file distribution. We study a class of cooperative file distribution systems where a file is br...

This paper studies the problem of balancing the demand for content in a peer-to-peer network across heterogeneous peer nodes that hold replicas of the content. Previous decentraliz...
We consider the problem of self-healing in peer-to-peer networks that are under repeated attack by an omniscient adversary. We assume that the following process continues for up t...

— This paper proposes CUP, a protocol for performing Controlled Update Propagation to maintain caches of metadata in peer-to-peer networks. To moderate propagation without imposi...
