TLDR
This work considers the design of a fully distributed, automatic system for the exchange of descriptive metadata in peer-to-peer file-sharing systems and shows that the proposed techniques are effective in improving search accuracy with reasonable cost.
Abstract
Peers in peer-to-peer file-sharing systems cannot effectively share their files if they are poorly described. Terms one user employs to describe an instance of a file may not be those that are commonly associated with the file, making this instance difficult to locate. To alleviate this problem, a server can ask its peers for help in improving the description of files they have in common. We consider the design of a fully distributed, automatic system for the exchange of descriptive metadata. Experimental results show that the proposed techniques are effective in improving search accuracy with reasonable cost.

Spam characterization and detection in peer-to-peer file-sharing systems

TL;DR: This work describes feature-based techniques for automatically detecting spam in P2P query result sets and shows that the proposed techniques successfully decrease the amount of spam by 9% in the top-200 results and by 92% inThe top-20 results.

Enriching peer-to-peer file descriptors using association rules on query logs

TL;DR: A P2P association rule mining descriptor enrichment approach that statistically significantly increases accuracy by greater than 15% over the non-enriched baseline is described.

Implications of the file names and user requested queries on Gnutella performance

TL;DR: A mechanism to build the file term synopsis using the observed popularity of queries routed through the ultrapeer and a query transformation mechanism that improves the success rates for failed queries are described.

Pastry: Scalable, Decentralized Object Location, and Routing for Large-Scale Peer-to-Peer Systems

TL;DR: Pastry as mentioned in this paper is a scalable, distributed object location and routing substrate for wide-area peer-to-peer ap- plications, which performs application-level routing and object location in a po- tentially very large overlay network of nodes connected via the Internet.

Incentives Build Robustness in Bit-Torrent

B. Cohen
TL;DR: The BitTorrent file distribution system uses tit-fortat as a method of seeking pareto efficiency, which achieves a higher level of robustness and resource utilization than any currently known cooperative technique.

Measurement study of peer-to-peer file sharing systems

TL;DR: This measurement study seeks to precisely characterize the population of end-user hosts that participate in Napster and Gnutella, and shows that there is significant heterogeneity and lack of cooperation across peers participating in these systems.

The Evolution of the Labor Market for Medical Interns and Residents: A Case Study in Game Theory

TL;DR: The organization of the labor market for medical interns and residents underwent a number of changes before taking its present form in 1951, and the record of these changes and the problems that prompt them can be found in this paper.

Efficient content location using interest-based locality in peer-to-peer systems

TL;DR: This work proposes a content location solution in which peers loosely organize themselves into an interest- based structure on top of the existing Gnutella network, and demonstrates the existence of interest-based locality in five diverse traces of content distribution applications, two of which are traces of popular peer-to-peer file-sharing applications.
