Self-organization of autonomous peers with human strategies.

Similarly to social networks where people are connected
by their social relationships, two autonomous peer nodes
can be connected in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P)
networks if users in those nodes are interested in each
other’s data. The similarity between P2P networks and
social networks, where peer nodes are people and
connections are relationships, leads us to believe that
human strategies in social networks are useful for
improving the performance of resource discovery by selforganising autonomous peers on unstructured P2P
networks. In this paper, we present an Efficient Social-Like
Peer-to-peer (ESLP) model for resource discovery by
mimicking different human behaviours in social networks.
