P2P overlay networks have attracted significant research interest due to their utility as
virtualized abstractions of complex network infrastructures, optimized to satisfy specific …

The limitations of client/server systems become evident in an Internetscale distributed
environment. P2P systems offer an alternative to traditional client/server systems: Every …

The term “peer-to-peer”(P2P) refers to a class of systems and applications that employ
distributed resources to perform a function in a decentralized manner. With the pervasive …

ABSTRACT A ubiquitous learning environment provides an interoperable, pervasive, and
seamless learning architecture to connect, integrate, and share three major dimensions of …

In the P2P community a fundamental distinction is made among unstructured and structured
P2P systems for resource location. In unstructured P2P systems in principle peers are …

Establishing peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing for mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) requires
the construction of a search algorithm for transmitting queries and search results as well as …

Knowledge sharing enables people in virtual communities to access relevant knowledge
(explicit or tacit) from broader scope of resources. The performance in such environments is …

Understanding students' self-ascribed engineering identity may be one way to understand
engineering choices and to help recruit new students to the engineering pipeline. In our …

In peer-to-peer data integration, each peer exports data in terms of its own schema, and data
interoperation is achieved by means of mappings among the peer schemas. Peers are …

This paper studies the problem of updates in decentralised and self-organising P2P systems
in which peers have low online probabilities and only local knowledge. The update strategy …
