In unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, the overlay topology (or connectivity graph) among peers is a crucial component in addition to the peer/data organization and search. Topological characteristics have profound impact on the…
Given some of the recent advances in Distributed Hash Table (DHT) based Peer-To-Peer (P2P) systems we ask the following questions: Are there applications where unstructured queries are still necessary (i.e., the underlying queries do not…
Most of the existing P2P content distribution schemes implement a random or rarest piece first dissemination procedure to avoid duplicate transmission of the same pieces of data and rare pieces of data occurring in the network. This problem…
We consider the scenario of $n$ sensor nodes observing streams of data. The nodes are connected to a central server whose task it is to compute some function over all data items observed by the nodes. In our case, there exists a total order…
As RDF becomes more widely established and the amount of linked data is rapidly increasing, the efficient querying of large amount of data becomes a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose a family of algorithms for querying large…
Several protocol efficiency metrics (e.g., scalability, search success rate, routing reachability and stability) depend on the capability of preserving structure even over the churn caused by the ad-hoc nodes joining or leaving the network.…
In Peer-to-Peer context, a challenging problem is how to find the appropriate peer to deal with a given query without overly consuming bandwidth? Different methods proposed routing strategies of queries taking into account the P2P network…
Overlay network topology together with peer/data organization and search algorithm are the crucial components of unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks as they directly affect the efficiency of search on such networks. Scale-free…
This paper presents a study on data dissemination in unstructured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network overlays. The absence of a structure in unstructured overlays eases the network management, at the cost of non-optimal mechanisms to spread…
The performance of computer networks relies on how bandwidth is shared among different flows. Fair resource allocation is a challenging problem particularly when the flows evolve over time.To address this issue, bandwidth sharing techniques…
P2P systems provide a scalable solution for distributing large files in a network. The file is split into many chunks, and peers contact other peers to collect missing chunks to eventually complete the entire file. The so-called `rare…
We study robust and efficient distributed algorithms for searching, storing, and maintaining data in dynamic Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. P2P networks are highly dynamic networks that experience heavy node churn (i.e., nodes join and leave…
Distributed stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithms are widely deployed in training large-scale deep learning models, while the communication overhead among workers becomes the new system bottleneck. Recently proposed gradient…
Data on the web is naturally unindexed and decentralized. Centralizing web data, especially personal data, raises ethical and legal concerns. Yet, compared to centralized query approaches, decentralization-friendly alternatives such as Link…
To train deep learning models faster, distributed training on multiple GPUs is the very popular scheme in recent years. However, the communication bandwidth is still a major bottleneck of training performance. To improve overall training…
In the present-day, distributed applications are commonly spread across multiple datacenters, reaching out to edge and fog computing locations. The transition away from single datacenter hosting is driven by capacity constraints in…
Nowadays, frequent pattern mining (FPM) on large graphs receives increasing attention, since it is crucial to a variety of applications, e.g., social analysis. Informally, the FPM problem is defined as finding all the patterns in a large…
We consider in this paper top-k query answering in social tagging systems, also known as folksonomies. This problem requires a significant departure from existing, socially agnostic techniques. In a network-aware context, one can (and…
Top-k query processing finds a list of k results that have largest scores w.r.t the user given query, with the assumption that all the k results are independent to each other. In practice, some of the top-k results returned can be very…
Extracting the valuable features and information in Big Data has become one of the important research issues in Data Science. In most Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the collected data are uncertain and imprecise due to sensor device…
