ABSTRACT
We consider the problem of information retrieval in a peer-to-peer file sharing system. We assume that peers are unreliable, metadata are sparse, and queries are short. In light of this, the question becomes whether there exists a combination of metadata management and ranking techniques that can consistently improve query results. We try several alternatives, and, through analysis and simulation, show a combination that generally yields the best results.

A Resource Exchange Architecture for Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Applications
A peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing network provides a resource sharing platform for Internet users. To increase higher-degreere source sharing, heterogeneous P2P file sharing networks need away to collaborate and communicate with each other. Based on the ...
