However, P2P systems tend to waste the network bandwidth for resource acquisition because of its decentralized resource management. This paper proposes an efficient self-organizing overlay network for P2P-based grid computing systems to effectively reduce the number of resource-acquiring queries over the physical network. The resource exploitation space for some specific interests is organized as an overlay network, which is configured by making local clusters reflecting current interests of individual peers and connecting them together based on their similarity. In addition, the overlay network can be dynamically reconfigured based on the change in the interests of individual peers across time so that more useful peers at that time can be reconnected closer to their client peers. Therefore, multicasting of resource requesting messages can be carried out only over peers with similar interests that are connected through the overlay network. Experimental results indicate that the self-organizing overlay network can remarkably decrease both messages for resource acquisition and hops a resource requesting query travels to reach the peer that satisfies the request.","PeriodicalId":169669,"journal":{"name":"The 2005 Symposium on Applications and the Internet","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132215238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we model building blocks of a network (i.e., the congestion control mechanism of TCP, propagation delay of a transmission link, and the buffer of a router) as independent continuous-time systems. By interconnecting these systems, we obtain the model for a complex closed-loop network. We improve the accuracy of analytic models for TCP congestion control and RED router by extending existing fluid-flow models. First, we obtain a block diagram for each continuous-time system using a standard CAD tool widely used in control engineering. Second, we evaluate the performance of a closed-loop network with multiple feedback loops by connecting these block diagrams. We also validate the effectiveness of our analytic approach by comparing our analytic results with simulation results. Unlike other fluid-based modeling approaches, our analytic approach is scalable and accurate; our analytic approach is scalable in terms of the number of TCP connections and routers since both input/output of all continuous-time systems are uniformly defined as a packet transmission rate. Our analytic approach is accurate since the timeout mechanism of TCP and the packet dropping algorithm of RED router are rigorously modeled in our continuous-time systems.","PeriodicalId":169669,"journal":{"name":"The 2005 Symposium on Applications and the Internet","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117244872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By composition, we mean taking advantage of currently existing Web services to provide a new service that does not exist on its own. Therefore, in order to have a more complex service, we can use some semantically related simpler Web services and execute them in such a way that the whole set provides the desired service. There are Web service specification languages that specify semantic properties of Web services. These languages are helpful in searching for those Web services that can participate in a composition. This work is aimed at searching among Web services in order to find those whose composition provides a specific behavior. Those Web services found after this search are incrementally composed together to build a new service that realizes that behavior. Our technique takes advantage of graph structures and also a particular formalism called interface automata.","PeriodicalId":169669,"journal":{"name":"The 2005 Symposium on Applications and the Internet","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121468929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, a cluster of researchers on the Web becomes a superset of bibliographical one, that is, a community representing a larger research field. We then develop Web link ontology that defines various relationships among researchers to apply metadata annotation to the links among 200 sites. The findings are 1) since intellectual ties analysis separates off sociocognitive ties, it results into a better approximation of bibliographical author cocitation, 2) since sociocognitive ties analysis can utilize various links not only coauthor networks, diverse kinds of social connections can be found, 3) merging intellectual ties and sociocognitive ties analyses detect gatekeepers who bridges research fields on social networks.","PeriodicalId":169669,"journal":{"name":"The 2005 Symposium on Applications and the Internet","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134642870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is difficult to guarantee QoS for each traffic type in current network environments. Moreover, it has been reported that bandwidth can be allocated to flows unfairly, and this can be an important issue for QoS guarantees. In this paper, we propose a new flow-based queue management scheme, called dual metrics fair queueing (DMFQ), to improve the fairness and QoS per flow. DMFQ discards arrival packets by considering not only the arrival rate per flow but also the flow succession time. We evaluate the performance of DMFQ with computer simulations. In addition, we implement DMFQ to confirm its feasibility.","PeriodicalId":169669,"journal":{"name":"The 2005 Symposium on Applications and the Internet","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134086954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In deploying overlay networks for such dynamic groups, unlike in pre-defined static VPN deployment, a mechanism to keep security policies in member nodes updated for membership changes and a mechanism to adaptively reconfigure a topology must be supported. However, previous approaches have scalability problems in supporting these mechanisms. We propose a scalable overlay network deployment scheme to minimize the impact of membership changes. In the scheme, the IPsec policy required for delivering packets to a destination node is resolved on an on-demand basis to eliminate the advertisement-based updates of membership changes. Our approach also provides two modes of overlay topology operation to address dynamic changes in the number of nodes. While the mesh mode eliminates a tunnel initiation/teardown behavior for membership changes, the graph mode creates a graph-structured topology reconfigurable with a constant number of initiated/torn-down tunnels for node joins/leaves. We evaluate a management server load on dynamic membership changes and show the efficient performance of our scheme for increasing the number of nodes. We also show that our topology reconfiguration algorithm provides a smaller number of initiated/torn-down tunnels for changes in the number of nodes than previous approaches.","PeriodicalId":169669,"journal":{"name":"The 2005 Symposium on Applications and the Internet","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114501120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
