ABSTRACT
Peer-to-peer architectures become popular in modern massively distributed systems, which are often in very large scale and contain a huge volume of heterogeneous data. To facilitate the information retrieval process in P2P networks, we consider semantic search approach, where syntax-based queries are shipped to peers based on semantic correlations. Motivated by an interesting experience in Web information retrieval, we propose a novel ontology-based scheme to measure similarity of peer interests accurately and consistently in a decentralized way, and group peers under a scalable hierarchical overlay network. Given queries, our approach either floods them within local peer groups or guides them towards remote groups based on the similarity of interests. Our work overcomes the limitations of the existing P2P hybrid-search approaches by avoiding costly data popularity measurement. Performance evaluation and comparison against baseline algorithms show that our approach provides a better solution for information retrieval in large-scale P2P networks.

Providing hierarchical lookup service for P2P-VoD systems
Special Issue on P2P StreamingSupporting random jump in P2P-VoD systems requires efficient lookup for the “best” suppliers, where “best” means the suppliers should meet two requirements: content match and network quality match. Most studies use a DHT-based method to provide content ...
Bandwidth trading in BitTorrent-like P2P networks for content distribution
Bandwidth trading schemes give peers an incentive to provide upload bandwidth to other peers in a P2P network for fast file distribution. A popular example is the tit-for-tat strategy used in the BitTorrent protocol. Although this game theoretical ...
Semantic partitioning of peer-to-peer search space
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are beginning to form the infrastructure of future applications. Computers are organized in P2P overlay networks to facilitate search queries with reasonable cost. So, scalability is a major aim in design of P2P networks. In ...
