Supporting peer-to-peer computing with FlexiNet

CCGrid 2003. 3rd IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid, 2003. Proceedings., 2003
Formation of suitable overlay-network topologies that are able to reflect the structure of the underlying network-infrastructure, has rarely been addressed by peer-to-peer applications so far. Often, peer-to-peer protocols restrain to purely random formation of their overlay-network.

Supporting VCR in Peer-to-Peer Video-On-Demand

2007 IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, 2007
Video-on-demand (VOD) is an interactive multimedia service, which delivers video content to subscribers (users). We propose a scheme of P2P VOD supporting VCR interactivities. By mining associations inside a video, the segments requested in VCR interactivities are accurately predicted based on the information collected through gossips.

Peer-to-peer support for massively multiplayer games

IEEE INFOCOM 2004, 2004
We present an approach to support massively multiplayer games on peer-to-peer overlays. Our approach exploits the fact that players in MMGs display locality of interest, and therefore can form self-organizing groups based on their locations in the virtual world.

On supporting mobile peer to mobile peer communications

2012 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2012
In this paper, we propose a new method for assessing the sociability scalar of a mobile peer by the network, most importantly with no involvement of the mobile peer. The sociability metric can help in the Application Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) guidance in Mobile Peer-to-Mobile Peer (MP2MP) scenario to scale up the database search of an ALTO ...

Supporting peer-to-peer collaboration through trust

Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design, 2005., 2005
Distributed systems generally require their component parts to interact cooperatively, in order for the system as a whole to function effectively. For any given activity, several alternative components may have the required capabilities. However, these components may be unreliable or dishonest, and are typically locally controlled. We view such systems
