Learning and Recommending Shortcuts in Semantic Peer-to-Peer Networks
Christoph Tempich,
University of Karlsruhe –
Abstract:
A major problem within peer-to-peer systems is to find the best
peer given a certain query. Inspired by the work in the area of
social networks we present a novel peer-to-peer system called
INGA (Interest-based Node Grouping Architecture). Peers
cooperate to efficiently route queries along adaptive shortcuts
based overlays using only local knowledge. We propose active and
passive shortcut creation strategies and a new routing algorithm
that combines a greedy, high degree and flooding based search
depending on one’s knowledge. We quantify the benefit of the
overlay network by comparing the performance of INGA in the SWAP
simulation infrastructure against a simple Gnutella style network,
against recently proposed shortcut networks without similarity
metrics and against a relaxation based approach. While obtaining
the same recall we show in our experiments that with INGA we half
the messages for a query.

Upcoming Events
Mathematics, Physics & Machine Learning Seminar Series (Online)

The Mathematics, Physics & Machine Learning seminar series has started on October 2020 and runs until March 2021.
The seminars aim to bring together mathematicians and physicists interested in machine learning (ML) with ML and AI experts interested in mathematics and physics, with the goal of introducing innovative Mathematics and Physics-inspired techniques in Machine Learning and, reciprocally, applying Machine Learning to problems in Mathematics and Physics.
Attendance is free but registration is required.

International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing

The 27th International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par 2021) will take from August 30 to September 3 2021 in Lisbon.
Euro-Par is the prime European conference covering all aspects of parallel and distributed processing, ranging from theory to practice, from small to the largest parallel and distributed systems and infrastructures, from fundamental computational problems to full-fledged applications, from architecture, compiler, language and interface design and implementation, to tools, support infrastructures, and application performance aspects.
The 2021 edition of Euro-Par will be organized as a collaboration between INESC-ID and Instituto Superior Técnico (IST).
