We consider streaming over a peer-to-peer network with homogeneous nodes in which a single source broadcasts a data stream to all the users in the system. Peers are allowed to enter or leave the system (adversarially) arbitrarily. Previous…

P2P architecture is a viable option for enterprise backup. In contrast to dedicated backup servers, nowadays a standard solution, making backups directly on organization's workstations should be cheaper (as existing hardware is used), more…

Recommendation systems have wide-spread applications in both academia and industry. Traditionally, performance of recommendation systems has been measured by their precision. By introducing novelty and diversity as key qualities in…

This paper presents an algorithm to automatically design two-level fat-tree networks, such as ones widely used in large-scale data centres and cluster supercomputers. The two levels may each use a different type of switches from design…

This paper introduces a methodology for the development of routing algorithms that takes into consideration opportunistic networking. The proposal focus on the rationale behind the methodology, and highlights its most important stages and…

With the increase in the number of web services, many web services are available on internet providing the same functionality, making it difficult to choose the best one, fulfilling users all requirements. This problem can be solved by…

Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading is seen as a viable solution to handle the growing number of distributed energy resources in distribution networks. However, when dealing with large-scale consumers, there are several challenges that must be…

This paper proposes Architectural Pattern Recommender (APR) system which helps in such architecture selection process. Main contribution of this work is in replacing the manual effort required to identify and analyse relevant architectural…

Building a network architecture must answer to organization needs, but also to two major elements which are the need for dependability and performance. By performance, we must understand the ability to meet an immediate need and the ability…

Demand-aware communication networks are networks whose topology is optimized toward the traffic they need to serve. These networks have recently been enabled by novel optical communication technologies and are investigated intensively in…

Peer-to-Peer Live streaming and Video on Demand is the most popular media applications over the Internet in recent years. These systems reduce the load on the server and provide a scalable content distribution. A new paradigm of P2P network…

Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is currently attracting enormous attention. In P2P systems a very large number of autonomous computing nodes (the peers) pool together their resources and rely on each other for data and services. Peer-to-peer…

Peer-to-peer networks consist of thousands or millions of nodes that might join and leave arbitrarily. The evaluation of new protocols in real environments is many times practically impossible, especially at design and testing stages. The…

Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading has emerged as a next-generation energy management mechanism for the smart grid that enables each prosumer of the network to participate in energy trading with one another and the grid. This poses a…

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks establish loosely coupled application-level overlays on top of the Internet to facilitate efficient sharing of resources. It can be roughly classified as either structured or unstructured networks. Without…

Currently the Peer to Peer computing paradigm rises as an economic solution for the large scale computation problems. However due to the dynamic nature of peers it is very difficult to use this type of systems for the computations of real…

We develop a clearance and settlement model for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading in low-voltage networks. The model enables direct transactions between parties within an open and distributed system and integrates unused capacity while…

The P2P model encompasses a network of equal peers, whether in hardware or software, operating autonomously without central control, allowing individual peer failure while ensuring high availability. Nevertheless, current P2P technologies…

We consider five different peer-to-peer file sharing systems with two chunks, with the aim of finding chunk selection algorithms that have provably stable performance with any input rate and assuming non-altruistic peers who leave the…

Use of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) service networks introduces a new communication paradigm because peers are both clients and servers and so each peer may provide/request services to/from other peers. Empirical studies of P2P networks have been…
