Abstract:
Today's content providers are naturally distributed and produce large amounts
of new information every day. Peer-to-peer information filtering is a promising
approach that offers scalability, adaptivity to high dynamics, and failure
resilience. The authors developed two approaches that utilize the Chord
distributed hash table as the routing substrate, but one stresses retrieval
effectiveness, whereas the other relaxes recall guarantees to achieve lower
message traffic and thus better scalability. This article highlights the two
approaches' main characteristics, presents the issues and trade-offs involved
in their design, and compares them in terms of scalability, efficiency, and
filtering effectiveness.
