Abstract
Peer-to-peer systems are often characterized as self-organizing systems. Such characterization is frequently used to informally express properties of Peer-to-Peer systems such as the distribution of control, locality of processing, and the emergence of global structures from local interactions. Self-organizing systems are considered as being particularly scalable and failure resilient.
