- A File Discovery Control Scheme for P2P File Sharing Applications in Wireless Mobile Environments
- The mobility characteristic brings new challenges for research of P2P computing over the wireless mobile networking environment. Peers' movements in wireless mobile network change the routing path which affects the file retrieval performance. Thus, how to improve the resource discovery and retrieval for P2P file sharing applications in wireless mobile...

- Actively Monitoring Peers in KAD
- In recent years, a large number of DHTs have been proposed. However, very few of them have been deployed in real-life large scale systems. An exception is KAD, a DHT based on Kademlia that is part of the widely used eMule peer-to-peer system, which has more than 1.5 million simultaneous...

- Pastiche: Making Backup Cheap and Easy
- Backup is cumbersome and expensive. Individual users almost never back up their data, and backup is a significant cost in large organizations. This paper presents Pastiche, a simple and inexpensive backup system. Pastiche exploits excess disk capacity to perform peer-to-peer backup with no administrative costs. Each node minimizes storage overhead...

- Peer Group-Based Dependency Management in Service-Oriented Peer-to-Peer Architectures
- Dependency management in service-Oriented peer-to-Peer architectures aims at handling functional dependencies between a public service hosted by a service providing peer and all consumer peers that rely on that service. The analysis of dependencies on consumer peers is important for supporting the adaptation of a public service. The uncoordinated adaptation...

- MaxProp: Routing for Vehicle-Based Disruption-Tolerant Networks
- Disruption-Tolerant Networks DTNs attempt to route network messages via intermittently connected nodes. Routing in such environments is difficult because peers have little information about the state of the partitioned network and transfer opportunities between peers are of limited duration. This paper proposes MaxProp, a protocol for effective routing of DTN...

- Performance of Data Dissemination Among Mobile Devices
- This paper presents 7DS, a novel peer-to-peer data sharing system. 7DS is an architecture, a set of protocols and an implementation enabling the exchange of data among peers that are not necessarily connected to the Internet. Peers can be either mobile or stationary. It anticipates the information needs of users...

- Towards Scalable and Robust Overlay Networks
- Every peer-to-peer system is based on some overlay network connecting its peers. Many of the overlay network concepts proposed in the scientific community are based on the concept of virtual space. These designs are usually highly scalable, but they do not guarantee robustness against adversarial attacks, especially when considering open...

- A Bypassing Security Model for Anonymous Bluetooth Peers
- Bluetooth technology provides conveniences ranging from simply substituting for wires of electrical household products to constructing home network systems. Providing Bluetooth-technology-based services in public raises security issues in providing a secure Bluetooth link for unknown Bluetooth peers. This paper presents a bypassing security model for protecting communications between anonymous Bluetooth...

- CIOs: Do Your Peers Need An IT University?
- CIOs often complain privately that their business peers, the heads of functional departments and business units, don't "get" IT. Furthermore, they don't understand the basics of processes, systems, and data and don't grasp the importance of their own roles as sponsors of IT initiatives. Rather than complain, CIOs should sponsor...

- TCP Connections for P2P Apps: A Software Approach to Solving the NAT Problem
- Many P2P applications need to connect to each other via TCP, but are increasingly stymied by NAT boxes. Some popular P2P applications do not address NAT traversal or do so poorly. A few newer ones route communications between NATed peers through relay servers or through non-NATed peers or they ask...

- An Amortized Tit-for-Tat Protocol for Exchanging Bandwidth Instead of Content in P2P Networks
- Incentives for resource sharing are crucial for the proper operation of P2P networks. The principle of the incentive mechanisms in current content sharing P2P networks such as BitTorrent is to have peers exchange content of mutual interest. As a consequence, a peer can actively participate in the system only if...

- Mobile Chedar - A Peer-to-Peer Middleware for Mobile Devices
- This paper presents the Mobile Chedar Peer-to-Peer middleware for mobile peer-to-peer applications. The middleware is an extension to the Chedar peer-to-peer network allowing mobile devices to access the Chedar network and also to communicate with other Mobile Chedar peers. Currently, Mobile Chedar uses Bluetooth to connect to Chedar gateway peers,...

- The technology behind BitTorrent means smarter P2P for all
- Despite a somewhat controversial reputation, peer-to-peer networks are a vital tool for situations requiring the efficient sharing of large content files across a large user base. BitTorrent divides large files into smaller fragments that peer systems can download in any order from the other peers in the network. At the...

- Attrition Defenses for a Peer-to-Peer Digital Preservation System
- In peer-to-peer systems, attrition attacks include both traditional, network-level denial of service attacks as well as application-level attacks in which malign peers conspire to waste loyal peers' resources. This paper describes several defenses for the LOCKSS peer-to-peer digital preservation system that help ensure that application level attrition attacks even from...
