State-of-the-art survey on P2P overlay networks in pervasive computing environments

P2P overlay networks have attracted significant research interest due to their utility as virtualized abstractions of complex network infrastructures, optimized to satisfy specific criteria, e.g. minimum delay or shortest diameter. In the context of modern pervasive environments, which are characterized by complexity, heterogeneity, dynamicity, and mobility in terms of the underlying networks, the utilization of P2P overlays accordingly offers a...
