The Contextual Ego Network P2P Overlay for the Next Generation Social Networks

Peer Assist Live Streaming Overlay for Next-Generation-Networks

The rapid evolution of the telecommunication domain increases the performance of different access networks continuously. New services, especially in the domain multimedia content distribution, require higher and higher bandwidth at the user’s and service provider’s side. Multimedia services like Video on Demand, IPTV, and live streaming were introduced in the past and are still improved in qual...

Semantic Overlay Networks for P2P Systems

In a peer-to-peer (P2P) system, nodes typically connect to a small set of random nodes (their neighbors), and queries are propagated along these connections. Such query flooding tends to be very expensive. We propose that node connections be influenced by content, so that for example, nodes having many “Jazz” files will connect to other similar nodes. Thus, semantically related nodes form a Sem...

Autonomic Network Management for Next Generation Networks

With the exponential growth of current computer networks, the need for autonomic network management is clearly increasing. While there have been many attempts to tackle autonomicity in network management environments, the platforms are too specific and apply only to very specific environments. A different approach is presented in this paper whose the concept of a dedicated network management pl...

A P2P computing system for overlay networks

A distributed computing system is able to perform data computation and distribution of results at the same time. Computing systems consist of many machines, which jointly constitute a large computation power that would not be available on a single machine. The input task is divided into blocks, which are then sent to system participants, which offer their resources in order to perform calculati...
