Enhanced Entropy‐Based Resource Searching in Unstructured P2P Networks

Structuring communities for sharing human digital memories in a social P2P network

“…Unstructured P2P networks [8,31,6,15,23,12], also called pure P2P networks, connect peers in a 'random' manner. Each peer has equal responsibility for routing messages and providing services.…”

“…Since there is no central system that controls and manages the network, it is the responsibility of each peer to keep a record of its neighbor peers and resources. Random walk [36] and Flooding are the most commonly used searching techniques in unstructured networks [3,15,12]. Unstructured networks are less scalable, produce high network overhead and have lower search precision (due to queries being directed to irrelevant peers) compared to their structured counterparts [17,35,28,29].…”

“…In our previous work [33], different challenges has been identified for sharing human digital memories such as network structure, data privacy, searching, etc. [6,15,23] and have proposed an Entity-Based Social Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network (ESP2PN) [34] where the communities are formed according to entities in digital memories [38]. This operates on the analyzed and annotated digital memories captured by memory for life system.…”
