Peer-To-Peer Computing - Applications, Architecture, Protocols, and Challenges

Informationen zum Autor Yu-Kwong Ricky Kwok is a professor at the University of Hong Kong, where he is also the chairman of the Departmental Curriculum Review and Development Committee (DCRDC). A senior member of ACM and IEEE, Dr. Kwok has held positions at Colorado State University, the University of Southern California, and Purdue University. He has co-authored two books and published more than 180 technical papers. His research focuses on designing efficient communication protocols and secure resources management algorithms toward enabling large scale distributed mobile computing. Klappentext With a number of emerging applications, peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is a form of distributed processing that continues to increase in use. This book provides a detailed technical survey of existing P2P applications, various enabling technologies and protocols, and evolving research issues, such as network topology control and incentive providing mechanisms. Suitable for both senior-level undergraduate and graduate students as well as industry professionals, the text examines existing P2P applications, including file sharing, file transfer through BlackBerry email service, and wireless gaming capabilities. It also explores "what if" scenarios of future P2P systems.
