Deploying Resource Space Model on a Structured P2P Network

Resource space model (RSM) is a normalized classification model that uses m-dimensional semantic spaces to share and manage various resources in a centralized manner. This paper explores how to use the idea of classification semantics to organize indexes of resources in a decentralized manner. We deploy RSM on a structured P2P topology HRing by two ID management methods. HRing is a ring-structured P2P topology that can achieve logarithmic routing table size and routing hops. Theoretical analysis and simulations show that both methods can still maintain logarithmic performance and cost. Thus, the decentralized RSM on HRing can be applied on dynamic and large-scale resource-sharing systems.
