      A local search mechanism for peer-to-peer networks 

      Kalogeraki, Vana; Gunopulos, Dimitrios; Zeinalipour-Yazdi, Constantinos D. (2002)
      One important problem in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is searching and retrieving the correct information. However, existing searching mechanisms in pure peer-to-peer networks are inefficient due to the decentralized nature ...
