Peer-to-Peer (P2P) hat sich binnen kurzer Zeit zu einem der meistdiskutierten Phänomene in der jüngeren Geschichte der Informationstechnologie herausgebildet. Die millionenfach frequentierten Musiktauschbörsen wie etwa Napster haben dabei zu kontroversen Bewertungen von P2P geführt. Neben File-Sharing à la Napster zählen Instant Messaging, Collaboration/P2P Groupware, Grid bzw. Distributed Computing und Web Services zu ...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is currently attracting enormous public attention, spurred by the popularity of file-sharing systems such as Napster, Gnutella, and Morpheus. In P2P systems a very large number of autonomous computing nodes, the peers, rely on each other for services. P2P networks are emerging as a new distributed computing paradigm because of their potential to harness the computing power of the hosts composing the network, and ...

In very short time, peer-to-peer computing has evolved from an attractive new paradigm into an exciting and vibrant research field bringing together researchers from systems, networking, and theory. This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems, IPTPS 2003, held in Berkeley, CA, USA in February 2003. The 27 revised papers presented together with an introductory summary ...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Databases, Information Systems, and Peer-to-Peer Computing, DBISP2P 2003, held in Berlin, Germany in September 2003 as a satellite event of VLDB 2003. The 16 revised full papers presented together with the abstract of an invited contribution were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in ...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the Second International Workshop on Databases, Information Systems, and Peer-to-Peer Computing, DBISP2P 2004, held in Toronto, Canada in August 2004 in conjunction with VLDB 2004.
The 14 revised full papers presented together with an invited keynote paper were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on ...

Wireless devices are becoming smaller, more user-friendly and more pervasive. Peer-to-Peer Computing for Mobile Networks: Information Discovery and Dissemination discusses research results on data dissemination in mobile networks and peer-to-peer systems for mobile devices. An important research challenge within this book is to accelerate the data availability and enhance the dissemination and discovery of information when mobile hosts face ...

Starting with Napster and Gnutella, peer-to-peer systems became an integrated part of the Internet fabric attracting millions of users. According to recent evaluations, peer-to-peer traffic now exceeds Web traffic, once the dominant traffic on the Internet. While the most popular peer-to-peer applications remain file sharing and content distribution, new applications such as Internet telephony are emerging.Within just a few years, the huge ...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is attracting enormous media attention, spurred by the popularity of file sharing systems such as Napster, Gnutella, and Morpheus. The peers are autonomous, or as some call them, first-class citizens. P2P networks are emerging as a new distributed computing paradigm for their potential to harness the computing power of the hosts composing the network and make their under-utilized resources available to others. ...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th Asian Computing Science Conference, ASIAN 2002, held in Hanoi, Vietnam in December 2002. The 17 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. The conference was devoted to Internet computing and modeling, grid computing, peer-to-peer systems, and cluster computing. Among the issues addressed are scalable ...

Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit Algorithmen und Methoden der Peer-to-Peer-Netzwerke und gibt einen Einblick in die aktuelle Forschung.
Ursprünglich waren Peer-to-Peer-Netzwerke nur für File-Sharing konzipiert. Mittlerweile hat sich Peer-to-Peer zum Paradigma für Rechnernetzwerke entwickelt. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, dem Leser ein grundlegendes Verständnis der Techniken hinter den aktuellen Peer-to-Peer-Netzwerken ...
