Abstract
SHARK is a novel concept for search in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. Rather than flooding a network like Gnutella or imposing numerical IDs on objects like distributed hash tables, it is based on directed routing of keywords in a multi-dimensional redundant meta-data hierarchy. SHARK arranges nodes and objects in the network and in semantic clusters. In spite of its rich keyword search capabilities, it achieves a high degree of scalability, outperforming random
networks by several orders of magnitude. It can easily be adopted for applications as diverse as filesharing, P2P trading, or distributed expert and knowledge market places. Show more
