We propose two types of autonomic and distributed cooperative behaviors of peers for peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks. Cooperative behaviors of peers are mediated by query trails, and allows the exploration of better trade-off points between file search and storage load balancing performance. Query trails represent previous successful search paths and indicate which peers contributed to...

We present the construction of a continuous time stochastic process which has moments that satisfy an exact scaling relation, including odd order moments. It is based on a natural extension of the MRW construction described in [3]. This allows us to propose a continuous time model for the price of a financial asset that reflects most major stylized facts observed on real data, including asymmet...
