Title
Merging G-Grid P2P Systems While Preserving Their Autonomy
Abstract
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems share and manage huge amounts of data and resources distributed across a large number of machines. In pure P2P environments the control is totally decentralized in peers, which are autonomous, perform the same roles and do not have a global view of the entire system. Several P2P solutions have been deployed and proposed in literature managing data within a single P2P system with a variety of different features and performances. But in all cases a single P2P system conceptually corresponds to a single database containing a unique relational table and all functions, such as querying, routing and content location, are defined to properly work just within such a single system. Existing solutions cannot support several databases, which originate and grow separately, or simply just one database with several tables, because it would be necessary many distinct P2P systems. In this paper we present a solution to merge G-Grid P2P systems, which are multi-dimensional distributed structures for P2P data management, preserving their own autonomy and identity. Thanks to this users and applications can view the merged systems both as a single environment and also as a set of distinct systems. As P2P systems merge, all their functions, such as complete and partial range querying, content routing and so on, adapt naturally to efficiently work in the multi-grid P2P system.
