Use of the TRIPOD overlay network for resource discovery ?
This paper presents a fully decentralised, efficient and highly scalable resource-discovery approach that is applicable to large heterogeneous and highly dynamic distributed systems. The approach is based on a hybrid overlay network, named TRIPOD, which enables an efficient search for resources in the aforementioned highly distributed, dynamic and largely heterogeneous systems. The key advantages of our solution are its efficient proximity searching, an ability to search over highly dynamic resource properties, the in-built fault tolerance and robustness and, finally, its very low and manageable network overhead.
