The advent of the World Wide Web has made an enormous amount of information available
to everyone and the widespread use of digital equipment enables end-users (peers) to …

In a volunteer-based self-organizing network, such as a peer-to-peer network and a wireless
ad-hoc network, trustworthiness of each participant node is crucial to assure information …

Trust research is a key issue in peer‐to‐peer (P2P) networks. Reputation‐based trust
models as one of the good solutions to resolve the trust problems in P2P network are …

The peer-to-peer paradigm offers the potential to address many of the challenges related to

We describe a sampling technique particularly suitable for active vision, dimensionally-
independent exponential mapping (DIEM), in which each dimension of the original data is …

As distributed systems are getting more and more complex, search facilities for finding
services and data within the system become crucial. Users expect search engines to deal …

It has been recognised that the performance shown by peer-to-peer based multimedia
systems is related to their network capabilities due to the frequent necessity to transfer large …

Pure P2P networks like Gnutella do not have a single point of failure. However, it is possible
for an illegal (faulty or malicious) node to alter messages it transmits, so as to make the …

A unstructured P2P network does searching by packet forwarding which has some
problems: hit ratios are low, and the network is filled with packets. A structured P2P network …

This paper presents dynamic reorganization of peer-to-peer networks to make query routing
and content retrieval efficient. The reorganization is conducted which use content similarity …
