Mobile agents as a middleware for data dissemination
Abstract
While Peer-To-Peer systems find application on several every day issues, a number of file swapping networks started to emerge. As they got increasingly widespread, certain patterns became apparent. Uneven flow of data and intersperse congestion points compromised interdomain quality of service. In this paper we present PeerCaster, a dissemination system based on a specially designed mobile agent platform as a mean for distributing high-demand files without clogging the host computer. Our focus is on the structure of this platform in order to accommodate custom agents for scheduling and delivering content.

Hybrid dissemination: adding determinism to probabilistic multicasting in large-scale P2P systems
Middleware '07: Proceedings of the ACM/IFIP/USENIX 2007 International Conference on MiddlewareEpidemic protocols have demonstrated remarkable scalability and robustness in disseminating information on internet-scale, dynamic P2P systems. However, popular instances of such protocols suffer from a number of significant drawbacks, such as increased ...
Building scalable and robust peer-to-peer overlay networks for broadcasting using network coding
PODC '05: Proceedings of the twenty-fourth annual ACM symposium on Principles of distributed computingWe propose a scheme for building peer-to-peer overlay networks for broadcasting using network coding. The scheme addresses many practical issues such as scalability, robustness, constraints on bandwidth, and locality of decisions. We analyze the system ...
