Networks - I: Cooperative Friendship Networks Through Slac With Newscast, M. Usman Akram, Anam Tariq

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

The effective cooperation and coordination of nodes is necessary for performance improvement in the P2P network. In this paper, we focus on the problem of maintaining considerable amount of cooperation and friendship in P2P networks of selfish peers. For this purpose we will analyze the performance of SLAC. It is a simple algorithm that maintains excessive levels of cooperation and friendship in a network while performing tasks. A simulation model ldquoPrisoners' Dilemmardquo is presented that puts this algorithm to work in a Peersim environment. For providing random sampling, an existing protocol called ldquoNEWSCASTrdquo has been used. The extensive computer simulations …

Keynote: Emerging Era Of Cooperative Empowerment: Grid, Peer-To-Peer, And Community Computing, Dr. Javed I. Khan

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

In this paper we discuss an emerging trend in high performance computing-the social or community computing. The emergence of screensaver computing, grid computing, peer-to-peer systems, and their demonstrated ability to garner computing power as potent as the supercomputers seems to be auspicious. In this paper we discuss the new phenomenon of community computing-including their potential applications in solving a new set of grand challenge problems. We also discuss the previously uncharted technological challenges architects of these new paradigms are addressing.
