Description:
peer-to-peer systems are characterized as  being decentralized, self-organizing distributed systems, in which all or most communication is symmetric. The goal of the session is to examine recent activities of APAN members in the area of peer-to-peer technologies, applications and systems, and also to identify key research issues and challenges that lie ahead.

 

 

Presentation Abstracts:

1. Peer-to-Peer Distributed Computing Platform: Korea@Home
Abstract:
In Nov. 2002, Korea had already ten millions of Internet households. According to a survey on the Internet users in Korea, three quarters of whole households were equipped with PC, and almost ninety percent of them are available to access Internet at home. The access methods to Internet over eighty percent are xDSL and cable net. Since April 2002, the Ministry of Information and Communication has been driving a distributed computing project, named ‘Korea@Home’. The first objective of this project is to exhibit as a good example to make the best use of advanced network infrastructure. The second one is to provide more general ideas as web services and the flexibility of applications for a distributed computing platform. This presentation will show the present status and the direction of Korea@Home with P2P architecture. 


2. Structured P2P Network for Loop Avoidance
Abstract:
Pure Peer-to-Peer file sharing application such as applications using Gnutella protocol has been widely used but facing challenges due to lacks of knowledge about their network topology. It causes loop path while messages are delivered. Therefore, when constructing network and searching content, those systems use flooding. These are result in duplicated messages and then network bandwidth is needed more than necessary. Addition to duplicated messages, flooding makes search messages reach limited range which is within TTL (Time-to-Live). It is likely to miss contents which are out of TTL. In this talk, we introduce a protocol for constructing structured Peer-to-Peer network for avoiding loop path and then reduce duplicated messages.
 

3. An Overview of Jxta for Supporting P2P Technologies and Applications
Abstract:
Jxta has created slight more than 2 years. Over this period, the technology has been slowly been adopted in various applications. In this talk, the author will be giving a brief introduction to Jxta and some of its applications.
