Peer-to-Peer file sharing and secondary liability in copyright law KU Leuven
'This is a book that has a lot to offer. Many of its readers will benefit from the first chapters which comprehensively analyse the case law and put it in context, whilst others will benefit more from the more conceptual chapters and the criticism of certain points and suggestions for a way forward contained in them.' © Alain Strowel 2009.

A hybrid peer-to-peer solution for context distribution in mobile and ubiquitous environments KU Leuven
With the proliferation of mobile devices such as PDAs and smartphones, users get accustomed to using them in their daily life. This raises the expectations for user-customized and environment-aware services. However, mobile context-aware systems inherently feature characteristics of distribution and heterogeneity which pose great challenges to their developers. In this paper, we focus on context distribution in mobile and ubiquitous computing ...
The fight against piracy in peer-to-peer networks: the sword of Damocles hanging over ISP's heads? KU Leuven
Comparative study of peer-to-peer architectures for scalable resource discovery University of Antwerp
Resource discovery is an important aspect of many modern large-scale distributed systems. In the past, this problem has been solved using many different approaches, such as a central registry server, flooding-based protocols, and distributed hash tables. In this paper, these three widely used architectures are compared, using measurement results obtained from real implementations run on an Emulab emulation environment. This allows us to study ...
Note d'observation sous l'arrêt C.J.C.E. (gr. ch.) du 29 janvier 2008: La protection des droits d’auteur face aux réseaux peer-to-peer : la levée du secret des communications est-elle justifiée ? KU Leuven
Les directives 2000/31, 2001/29, 2004/48 et 2002/58 n'imposent pas aux États membres de prévoir une obligation de communiquer des données à caractère personnel en vue d'assurer la protection effective du droit d'auteur dans le cadre d'une procédure civile. Toutefois, le droit communautaire exige desdits États que, lors de la transposition de ces directives, ils veillent à se fonder sur une interprétation de celles-ci qui permette d'assurer un ...
Analysis of Peer-to-Peer Networks from a Dependability Perspective KU Leuven
In the last few years, P2P systems have rapidly evolved and emerged as a promising platform to deploy new applications and services in the internet. The main reasons for this is that P2P systems are self-organizing, have a decentralized nature, good scalability, efficient query search, and good resilience in the presence of node failures. However malicious faults (attacks) are serious threats in these systems. This paper analyzes and discusses ...
Analyzing the Chord Peer-to-Peer Network for Power Grid Applications KU Leuven
Various smart power grid applications can be based on agent control systems such as intelligent protection, agents in power market, supply demand matching, autonomous electricity grid (AEG), etc. The dynamic nature of these applications makes that the information infrastructure underlying the power grid is needed not only for static configuration of application but also for modification at run time. This dynamic nature, along with a ...
