Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are fast emerging as a viable and cost effective alternative for content delivery on the Internet. By offering rebates to users who share content with others, incentives can be provided to address the well-documented problem of free riding. A primary value proposition of P2P networks is their ability to scale well and facilitate fast distribution of digital products....

We study the averaging-based distributed optimization solvers over random networks. show a general result on convergence of such schemes using weight-matrices that are row-stochastic almost surely and column-stochastic in expectation for broad class dependent weight-matrix sequences. In addition to implying many previously known results this domain, our work shows robustness link-failure. Also,...

Cybersecurity, as a crucial aspect of the information society, requires significant attention. Fortunately, concept trust, rooted in sociology, has been studied order to enhance cybersecurity by evaluating trustworthiness nodes with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques distributed networks (DNs). However, scalability issues faced AI-enabled trust hinder its integration DNs. Currently, there ...
