— Peer selection for query routing is a core task in peer-to-peer networks. Unstructured peer-to-peer systems (like Gnutella) ignore this problem, leading to an abundance of netw...
In this paper, we consider hybrid peer-to-peer systems where users form an unstructured peer-to-peer network with the purpose of assisting a server in the distribution of data. We...
The performance of peer-to-peer systems depends on the level of cooperation of the system's participants. While most existing peer-to-peer architectures have assumed that user...
Peer-to-peer systems have seen a tremendous growth in the last few years and peer-to-peer traffic makes a major fraction of the total traffic seen in the Internet. The dominating ...

Abstract. Collaborative tagging systems like Flickr and del.icio.us provide centralized content annotation and sharing which is simple to use and attracts many people. A combinatio...
One of the main characteristics of the peer-to-peer systems is the highly dynamic nature of the users present in the system. In such a rapidly changing enviroment, end-user guaran...
Peer-to-peer systems have the desirable property that the amount of resources available in the system increase as demand for services increases due to growth of the system. We exp...
