Agent Extensions for Peer-to-Peer Networks.
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have seen tremendous growth in development and usage in recent times. This attention has brought many developments as well as new challenges to these networks. We will show that agent extensions to P2P networks offer solutions to many problems faced by P2P networks. In …

Trust management schemes for peer-to-peer networks
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking enables users with similar interests to exchange, or obtain files. This network model has been proven popular to exchange music, pictures, or software applications. These files are saved, and most likely executed, at the downloading host. At the expense of this …

The role of teachers in classroom peer networks
… interactions played a role in the classroom peer ecology as reflected in friendship and victimization dynamics across the school year. Longitudinal social network analysis (SIENA) was conducted on a sample of 2,389 elementary children in 107 classrooms to investigate the development of …

Routing tradeoffs in dynamic peer-to-peer networks
Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) are useful tools for building large scale distributed systems. DHTs provide a hash-table-like interface to applications by routing a key to its responsible node among the current set of participating nodes. DHT deployments are characterized by churn, a continuous …

The trust management framework for peer-to-peer networks
<p>Popularity of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks exposed a number of security vulnerabilities. Among those is a problem of finding reliable communication partners. In this thesis, we present an integrated trust framework for peer-to-peer networks that quantifies the trustworthiness of a peer via …

Production, efficiency and managerial selection of workers into peer networks
… a model where workers produce output through peer-effect networks, while managerial selectivity of workers affects worker inefficiency. The intuition behind this model is that managers may consider optimal combinations of workers to produce the best results, and this selectivity in the worker …

Expanding the Impact of Peer Networks: Pathways to Turning Points
… highlight the importance of both adolescent peers and prosocial life events in explanations of continuity and change in deviant behavior. Thus far, research has evaluated the pathway to desistance by focusing on what happens to one's trajectory after experiencing prosocial adult activities, …

A keyword-set search system for peer-to-peer networks
The Keyword-Set Search System (KSS) is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) keyword search system that uses a distributed inverted index. The main challenge in a distributed index and search system is finding the right scheme to partition the index across the nodes in the network. The most obvious scheme would be …

Evolutionary methods for self-organizing cooperation in peer-to-peer networks
The Peer-to-Peer network paradigm is drawing the attention of both final users and researchers for its features. P2P networks shift from the classic client-server approach to a high level of decentralization where there is no central control and all the nodes should be able not only to require …

Secure, Efficient and Privacy-aware Framework for Unstructured Peer-to-Peer Networks
Recently, the advances in Ubiquitous Computing networks and the increased computational power of network devices have led designers to create more flexible distributed network models using decentralised network management systems. Security, resilience and privacy issues within such distributed …

Using current uptime to improve failure detection in peer-to-peer networks
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks share computer resources or services through the exchange of information between participating nodes. These nodes form a virtual network overlay by creating a number of connections with one another. Due to the transient nature of nodes within these systems any connection …

Mitigating Network Service Disruptions in High-bandwidth, Intermittently Connected, and Peer-to-Peer Networks
… and provide cheap or free network services using peer-to-peer networks. These three trends underlie the growing success of today's Internet. However, (1) high-bandwidth can empower more effective denial-of-service attacks; (2) Internet access is widespread, but still not ubiquitous; and (3) …

Characterizing and leveraging people movement for content distribution in mobile Peer-to-Peer networks
… improvements of content distribution in mobile Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. Particularly, we study two typical classes of people movement including the Schelling behavior and repetitive behavior. The Schelling behavior exists in real-world scenarios where co-located people collaboratively share …

Dominance and submission: how peer groups in South African secondary schools construct and utilise peer networks
… researched this problem from the perspective of peer networks. Adolescents were given questionnaires to complete about the manner in which they interacted in their peer groups. The researcher investigated to what extent adolescents cooperated, competed and confronted their peers, whether there …

How Do Peer Networks Enable Service Users and Informal Carers to Obtain and Manage Personal Budgets?
… disabled people’s organisations and other peer networks (PNs) had significant advantages. However, the rapid increase in the use of PBs led to support being commissioned from a much wider range of organisations, and such schemes dwindled to a small proportion. Literature review: A …

Copyright, data protection and Copyright trolls – the enforcement of copyright in the context of illegal file-sharing on peer-to-peer networks
När verk som åtnjuter upphovsrättsligt skydd delas på fildelningsnätverk utan rättsinnehavarens samtycke måste rättsinnehavaren verkställa rättigheten för att ha möjlighet att kräva kompensation av den som nyttjat verket. Rätten kan verkställas genom att begära åtkomst till …

An investigation into expanding the capabilities of peer-to-peer networks: combining centralized network infrastructure into decentralized peer-to-peer network topology
… signalling for session management over wireless networks. It’s the basis of a wide range of IP multimedia services. SIP relies on centralized servers according to its standard specifications and current usage. However, server based approaches are typically non-scalable as they may involve a large …
