Designing Structured Peer-to-Peer Architectures for Mashups

摘要

Mashup platforms are popular because they provide end-users with a powerful tool to query the Web. The majority of these platforms are designed using centralized architectures or loosely coupled distributed architectures. The lack of structure in these platforms makes searching for mashups an expensive task. In this paper we present two structured peer-to-peer architectures for mashup platforms, namely, MashChord and MashCAN. These platforms increase the efficiency of searching for mashups. In addition, our design makes sure a mashup is hosted at several peers which strengthens the reliability of the system. Moreover, execution offloading feature is added to our design to support the functionality of each peer in the system.
