Abstract

In this paper we present the AlvisP2P IR engine, which enables efficient retrieval with multi-keyword queries from a global document collection available in a P2P network. In such a network, each peer publishes its local index and invests a part of its local computing resources (storage, CPU, bandwidth) to maintain a fraction of a global P2P index. This investment is rewarded by the network-wide accessibility of the local documents via the global search facility.

The AlvisP2P engine uses an optimized overlay network and relies on novel indexing/retrieval mechanisms that ensure low bandwidth consumption, thus enabling unlimited network growth.

Our demonstration shows how an easy-to-install AlvisP2P client can be used to join an existing P2P network, index local (text or even multimedia) documents with collection-specific indexing mechanisms, and control access rights to them.

An Efficient Hybrid Peer-to-Peer System for Distributed Data Sharing

Peer-to-peer overlay networks are widely used in distributed systems. Based on whether a regular topology is maintained among peers, peer-to-peer networks can be divided into two categories: structured peer-to-peer networks in which peers are connected ...
Ranking factors in peer-to-peer overlay networks

A large number of peer processes are distributed in a peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay network. It is difficult, maybe impossible for a peer to perceive the membership and location of every resource object due to the scalability and openness of a P2P network. ...
