A Fuzzy-Based System for Data Replication in P2P Networks

P2P systems are very important for future distributed systems and applications. In such systems, the computational burden of the system can be distributed to peer nodes of the system. Therefore, in decentralized systems users become themselves actors by sharing, contributing and controlling the resources of the system. This characteristic makes P2Psystems very interesting for the development of decentralized applications. Data replication techniques are commonplace inP2P systems. Data replication means storing copies of the same data at multiple peers thus improving availability and scalability. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy-based system for data replication in P2P networks. We evaluate the proposed system by computer simulations. The simulation results has shown that the proposed system has a good behavior.
