Abstract

This paper presents a general methodology for building message-passing peer-to-peer systems capable of performing prefix search for arbitrary user-defined names. Our methodology allows to achieve even load distribution, high fault-tolerance, and low-congestion concurrent query execution. This is the, first known peer-to-peer system for prefix search with such properties. The essence of this methodology is a plug and play paradigm for designing a peer-to-peer system as a modular composition of arbitrary concurrent data structures.
