P2P systems

Abstract

The research topic in this project is to exploit the heterogeneity of P2P systems, and in particular, to assess the performance impact of the presence of superpeers, which are peers that have more capabilities than other peers. We cooperate with the Large-Scale Distributed Systems group of the Vrije Universteit in Amsterdam in the Globesoul project.
