Making Gnutella-like P2P Systems Scalable
, 2003
"... Napster pioneered the idea of peer-to-peer file sharing, and supported it with a centralized file search facility. Subsequent P2P systems like Gnutella adopted decentralized search algorithms. However, Gnutella's notoriously poor scaling led some to propose distributed hash table solutions to t ..."

Peer-to-Peer Shared Ride Systems
"... Abstract. Shared ride systems match the travel demand of transport clients with the supply by vehicles, or hosts, such that the clients find rides to their destinations. A peer-to-peer shared ride system allows clients to find rides in an ad-hoc manner, by negotiating directly with nearby hosts via ..."

Overcoming Free-riding Behavior in Peer-to-Peer Systems
- ACM Sigecom Exchanges
, 2005
"... While the fundamental premise of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems is that of voluntary resource sharing among individual peers, there is an inherent tension between individual rationality and collective welfare that threatens the viability of these systems. This paper surveys recent research at the inters ..."

Discouraging Free Riding in a Peer-to-Peer CPU-Sharing Grid
- Proceedings of the 13th IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC’04), IEEE Computer Society
, 2004
"... Grid computing has excited many with the promise of access to huge amounts of resources distributed across the globe. However, there are no largely adopted solutions for automatically assembling grids, and this limits the scale of today's grids. Some argue that this is due to the overwhelming c ..."

complexity of the proposed economy-based solutions. Peer-to-peer grids have emerged as a less complex alternative. We are currently deploying OurGrid, one such peerto -peer grid. OurGrid is a CPU-sharing grid that targets Bag-of-Tasks applications (i.e. parallel applications whose tasks are independent
Why Share in Peer-to-Peer Networks?
, 2006
"... Prior theory and empirical work emphasize the enormous free-riding problem facing peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing networks. Nonetheless, many P2P networks thrive. We explore two possible explanations that do not rely on altruism or explicit mechanisms imposed on the network: direct and indirect private i ..."

Incentives for Sharing in Peer-to-Peer Networks
"... this paper we will refer to the one of file sharing management in such networks. For this, we first consider the fact that a P2P system's users will rationally act as to maximize their benefit from using the system's common resources. Users choose their strategies by interacting with the o ..."

with the other peers in the network and usually try to manipulate the ratio between what they contribute and what they take from the system. If the mechanisms behind downloading and sharing in the specific P2P system are not designed as to consider these aspects of selfish behavior, we are confronted with what
An Empirical Analysis of Network Externalities in Peer-to-Peer Music-Sharing Networks
, 2004
"... Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks are an important medium for the distribution of information goods. However, there is little empirical research into the optimal design of these networks under real-world conditions. Early speculation about the behavior of P2P networks has focused on the role ..."

Free Riding: A New Challenge to Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Systems
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEMS SCIENCE 36
, 2003
"... Most of the research in the field of peer-to-peer file sharing systems has concentrated on performance issues such as efficient file lookup, replicating files to improve file download speeds etc. However there is a new challenge that questions the very existence and usefulness of such systems in the ..."

Free-riding on BitTorrent-like peer-to-peer file sharing systems: Modeling analysis and improvement
- IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems
, 2007
"... Abstract—BitTorrent has emerged as a very popular peer-to-peer file sharing system, which uses an embedded set of incentive mechanisms to encourage contribution and prevent free-riding. However, BitTorrent’s ability to prevent free-riding needs further study. In this paper, we present a fluid model ..."

Game theory in peer-to-peer networks
"... Game theory has been used to model the behaviour of selfish participants in P2P networks in which certain incentives to share resources are present, and also to model the resulting efficiency of the network. This enables the design of incen-tives which cause the network to operate in an optimal way. ..."

. This paper surveys the state of research into how game the-ory may be applied to peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. We give a brief introduction to game theory, describe the main prob-lem in P2P networks, i.e. free-riding, and present the com-monly proposed incentives for sharing resources in a P2P network
