Over the Internet today, computing and communications environments are significantly more
complex and chaotic than classical distributed systems, lacking any centralized organization …

The use of online social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, has grown at a
phenomenal rate. These platforms offer services that support interactions via messaging …

We present Tapestry, a peer-to-peer overlay routing infrastructure offering efficient, scalable,
location-independent routing of messages directly to nearby copies of an object or service …

We describe a new scalable application-layer multicast protocol, specifically designed for
low-bandwidth, data streaming applications with large receiver sets. Our scheme is based …

We describe PeerReview, a system that provides accountability in distributed systems.
PeerReview ensures that Byzantine faults whose effects are observed by a correct node are …

The demand for streaming multimedia applications is growing at an incr edible rate. In this
paper, we propose Bayeux, an efficient application-level multicast system that scales to …

In this paper, we argue that there is a need for an event-based middleware to build large-
scale distributed systems. Existing publish/subscribe systems still have limitations compared …

Scalable overlay networks such as Chord, CAN, Pastry, and Tapestry have recently
emerged as flexible infrastructure for building large peer-to-peer systems. In practice, such …

In this paper, we discuss the problem of distributing streaming media content, both live and
on-demand, to a large number of hosts in a scalable way. Our work is set in the context of …

In recent years, overlay networks have become an effective alternative to IP multicast for
efficient point to multipoint communication across the Internet. Typically, nodes self-organize …
