Last week I attended the seminar “Content Distribution based on Social Swarming” at Cambridge, UK
This exibithion showed a new way to distribute content based on Social Swarming. This technology is called Swarmtella and a comparision against GnuTella showed that it is very efficient increasing the success rate on a search procedure and reducing the bandwidth utilization.
Basically, It works based on Ranking Algorithm that manage the content that a peer can download from the neighbors found on each swarm based on the profiles.
This project is currently supported by CONTENT EU NoE (www.ist-content.eu, BIOGRIDNET Project (www.biogridnet.es), IMDEA Networks Research Institute (www.imdea.org/networks) and NETCOM Research Group at University Carlos III Madrid (www.it.uc3m.es/netcom).
