Availability simulation of peer-to-peer architectural styles
Simon Giesecke, Timo Warns, Wilhelm Hasselbring · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2005
This paper addresses the issue of quantitatively investigating availability within peer-to-peer systems. We devise a conceptual framework integrating architectural styles, architectures, and concrete systems. We identify basic characteristics of architectural styles for peer-to-peer systems and give a formal model to describe derived architectures. Architectural descriptions are used as input for simulations to predict the availability of services within real-world systems.
