abstract— peer-to-peer ( p2p ) systems have been the center of attention in recent years due to their advantage . since each node in such networks can act both as a service provider and as a client , they are subject to different attacks . therefore it is vital to manage confidence for these vulnerable environments in order to eliminate unsafe peers . this paper investigates the use of genetic ...

This paper surveys our efforts in the automated analysis of human created digital artifacts and human computer interactions to enable peer-to-peer (P2P) knowledge management (KM). We begin outlining the relationships among knowledge management, peer-to-peer computing, collaboration, and human language technology. We first discuss tools to support peer and group knowledge discovery, exemplifying...

This study provides an exhaustive review of 44 peer-reviewed quantitative or qualitative data-based peer-reviewed studies completed on adolescent peer group identification. Adolescent peer group identification is one's self-perceived or other-perceived membership in discrete teenage peer groups. The studies reviewed suggest that adolescent peer groups consist of five general categories differen...

Peer group analysis is a new tool for monitoring behavior over time in data mining situations. In particular, the tool detects individual objects that begin to behave in a way distinct from objects to which they had previously been similar. Each object is selected as a target object and is compared with all other objects in the database, using either external comparison criteria or internal cri...

Emerging peer-to-peer concepts provide new possibilities but also challenges for distributed applications. Despite their significant potential, current peer-to-peer networks lack efficient group communication. This thesis addresses this deficiency and proposes the P2P Messaging System, which collaborates with peer-to-peer networks. For each peer group, it establishes virtual overlay networks ba...
