2-LAMA Architecture vs. BitTorrent Protocol in a Peer-to-Peer Scenario
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we review our Multi-Agent System (MAS) architecture (2LAMA) proposed to assist existing MAS. This architecture consists of two levels: the conventional MAS system and an additional meta-level in charge of assistance. We illustrate our approach in a Peer-to-Peer sharing network scenario and compare it with the commonly used BitTorrent protocol. Experiments show that the cost of adding the meta-layer is lower than the obtained benefit. We conclude by claiming that our approach provides the system with the required flexibility to deal with dynamic environments.

Norm Adaptation using a Two-Level Multi-Agent System Architecture in a Peer-to-Peer Scenario
Existing organisational centred multi-agent systems (MAS) regulate agents’ activities. Nevertheless, population and/or environmental changes may lead to a poor fulfilment of the system’s purposes, and therefore, adapting the whole organisation becomes key. This is even more needed in open MAS, where participants are unknown beforehand, they may change over time, and there are no guarantees abou...
متن کاملAdaptation in a P2P scenario with 2-LAMA
In this paper, we propose a MAS architecture (2-Lama) to adapt social conventions from a system's perspective. The proposed architecture consist of two levels: the conventional MAS system (domainlevel) and an additional meta-level in charge of adaptation. We illustrate our approach in a Peer-to-Peer scenario. The resulting model changes organisation depending on environment and agent changes.
متن کاملA Survey of Peer-to-Peer Attacks and Counter Attacks
-Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network is a distributed network architecture that partitions tasks or workloads among peers (nodes). Similar to traditional Internet, P2P networks are open to many attacks. In this research work we survey the defensive measures against general attacks as well as P2P specific attacks. We take BitTorrent (a P2P communications protocol for file sharing) as an example to illust...
متن کاملScalability of the BitTorrent P2P Application
Peer-to-peer (p2p) networks are popular for their improved scalability compared to the client/server architecture. Hereby, the contribution of upload capacity provided by each peer to the network is the basic principle. BitTorrent is a very popular p2p application for file-sharing which is optimized for fast file dissemination. Key component is its tit-for-tat strategy to decide to whom a peer ...
متن کاملPeer to Peer File Download and Streaming
Peer-to-Peer file distribution is an attractive alternative to IP multicast for efficient dissemination of large files and media streams from one source to a large number of receivers. Typically, the file being distributed is divided into a number of blocks, which the source sends to different receivers. All the receivers serve both as a sender and as a receiver, and are organized into an overl...
