Improving data access in P2P systems
Karl Aberer, Magdalena Punceva, Manfred Hauswirth, R. Schmidt · IEEE Internet Computing · 2002
The authors present Gridella, a Gnutella-compatible P2P system. Gridella is based on the Peer-Grid (P-Grid) approach, which draws on research in distributed and cooperative information systems to provide a decentralized, scalable data access structure. Gridella improves the highly chaotic and inefficient Gnutella infrastructure with directed search and advanced concepts, thus enhancing efficiency and providing a model for further analysis and research.
