Replication and caching have been deployed widely in current P2P systems. In update-allowed P2P systems, a consistency maintenance mechanism is strongly demanded. Several solution...
Smart spaces are open complex computing systems, consisting of a large variety of cooperative smart things. Central to building smart spaces is the support for sophisticated coordi...
Existing DHT-based file systems use consistent hashing to assign file blocks to random machines. As a result, a user task accessing an entire file or multiple files needs to r...
