Random hashing is a standard method to balance loads among nodes in Peer-to-Peer networks. However, hashing destroys locality properties of object keys, the critical properties to many applications, more specifically, those that require range searching. To preserve a key order while keeping loads balanced, Ganesan, Bawa and Garcia-Molina proposed a load-balancing algorithm that supports both object insertion and deletion that guarantees a ratio of 4.237 between the maximum and minimum loads among nodes in the network using constant amortized costs. However, their algorithm is not straightforward to implement in real networks because it is recursive. Their algorithm mostly uses local operations with global max-min load information. In this work, we present a simple non-recursive algorithm using essentially the same primitive operations as in Ganesan {em et al.}s work. We prove that for insertion and deletion, our algorithm guarantees a constant max-min load ratio of 7.464 with constant amortized costs.

To maintain fairness, in the terms of resources shared by an individual peer, a proper incentive policy is required in a peer to peer network. This letter proposes, a simpler mechanism to rank the peers based on their resource contributions to the network. This mechanism will suppress the free riders from downloading the resources from the network. Contributions of the peers are biased in such a way that it can balance the download and upload amount of resources at each peer. This mechanism can be implemented in a distributed system and it converges much faster than the other existing approaches.
We study three capacity problems in the mobile telephone model, a network abstraction that models the peer-to-peer communication capabilities implemented in most commodity smartphone operating systems. The capacity of a network expresses how much sustained throughput can be maintained for a set of communication demands, and is therefore a fundamental bound on the usefulness of a network. Because of this importance, wireless network capacity has been active area of research for the last two decades. The three capacity problems that we study differ in the structure of the communication demands. The first problem is pairwise capacity, where the demands are (source, destination) pairs. Pairwise capacity is one of the most classical definitions, as it was analyzed in the seminal paper of Gupta and Kumar on wireless network capacity. The second problem we study is broadcast capacity, in which a single source must deliver packets to all other nodes in the network. Finally, we turn our attention to all-to-all capacity, in which all nodes must deliver packets to all other nodes. In all three of these problems we characterize the optimal achievable throughput for any given network, and design algorithms which asymptotically match this performance. We also study these problems in networks generated randomly by a process introduced by Gupta and Kumar, and fully characterize their achievable throughput. Interestingly, the techniques that we develop for all-to-all capacity also allow us to design a one-shot gossip algorithm that runs within a polylogarithmic factor of optimal in every graph. This largely resolves an open question from previous work on the one-shot gossip problem in this model.
Scalability and security problems of the centralized architecture models in cyberphysical systems have great potential to be solved by novel blockchain based distributed models.A decentralized energy trading system takes advantage of various sources and effectively coordinates the energy to ensure optimal utilization of the available resources. It achieves that goal by managing physical, social and business infrastructures using technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and network systems. Addressing the importance of blockchain-enabled energy trading in the context of cyberphysical systems, this article provides a thorough overview of the P2P energy trading and the utilization of blockchain to enhance the efficiency and the overall performance including the degree of decentralization, scalability and the security of the systems. Three blockchain based energy trading models have been proposed to overcome the technical challenges and market barriers for better adoption of this disruptive technology.
A multiagent based model for a system of cooperative agents aiming at growth is proposed. This is based on a set of generalized Verhulst-Lotka-Volterra differential equations. In this study, strong cooperation is allowed among agents having similar sizes, and weak cooperation if agent have markedly different sizes, thus establishing a peer-to-peer modulated interaction scheme. A rigorous analysis of the stable configurations is presented first examining the fixed points of the system, next determining their stability as a function of the model parameters. It is found that the agents are self-organizing into clusters. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that, depending on parameter values, multiple stable configurations can coexist. It occurs that only one of them always emerges with probability close to one, because its associated attractor dominates over the rest. This is shown through numerical integrations and simulations,after analytic developments. In contrast to the competitive case, agents are able to increase their capacity beyond the no-interaction case limit. In other words, when some collaborative partnership among a relatively small number of partners takes place, all agents act in good faith prioritizing the common good, whence receiving a mutual benefit allowing them to surpass their capacity.
To mitigate the attacks by malicious peers and to motivate the peers to share the resources in peer-to-peer networks, several reputation systems have been proposed in the past. In most of them, the peers evaluate other peers based on their past interactions and then aggregate this information in the whole network. However such an aggregation process requires approximations in order to converge at some global consensus. It may not be the true reflection of past behavior of the peers. Moreover such type of aggregation gives only the relative ranking of peers without any absolute evaluation of their past. This is more significant when all the peers responding to a query, are malicious. In such a situation, we can only know that who is better among them without knowing their rank in the whole network. In this paper, we are proposing a new algorithm which accounts for the past behavior of the peers and will estimate the absolute value of the trust of peers. Consequently, we can suitably identify them as a good peers or malicious peers. Our algorithm converges at some global consensus much faster by choosing suitable parameters. Because of its absolute nature it will equally load all the peers in network. It will also reduce the inauthentic download in the network which was not possible in existing algorithms.
