Abstract Peer-to-Peer (P2P) overlay networks have gained popularity due to their
robustness, cost advantage, network efficiency and openness. Unfortunately, the same …

Peer-to-Peer networks are designed to rely on the resources of their own users. Therefore,
resource management plays an important role in P2P protocols. Early P2P networks did not …

Peer-assisted networks have recently emerged as an excellent tool for distributing video
contents across the Internet. High peers' participation and cooperation in peer-assisted …

In peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, free-riders and redundant streams including overlapped and
folded streams dramatically degrade playback quality and network performance …

Two fundamental and persistent problems that still confront BitTorrent are unfairness and
free riding. This paper proposes O-Torrent, a P2P content distribution mechanism that is …

Abstract Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks are collaborative distributed systems which are not
dependent only upon external servers to provide the required resources to users. By …

Security is vital for any distributed computing application running over a set of networked
machines, some of which may possibly misbehave, due to misconfigurations, cost-cutting …

Smartphone ecosystems are considered as a unique source due to the large number of
apps which in turn makes an extensive use of personal data. Currently, there is no privacy …

Abstract Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are powerful machine learning tools to find and
apply patterns for intelligent decision making. These tools can be combined with automation …

Recent advances in technology have provided massive amounts of complex high-
dimensional and multimodal data for computer vision and machine learning applications …
