This thesis proposes the two respective models of Service Model and Physical Model to provide these abstractions in a comprehensive and cohesive manner into the P2P Characterization Model. The P2P Characterization Model describes the interactions between these two models and provides the methodology to identify the communications and processes requirements that occur in P2P computing. The communication requirements are induced by the interaction of peers; whereas, the processes requirements are induced by the application service requests. These requirements are abstracted into the Cost Analysis of P2P Processes and Communications Model. This model provides for the analysis and evaluation of the required costs in P2P computing based on the communications and processes requirements of applications. A scenario is presented to simulate and analyze the overheads associated with P2P processes and communications. For this scenario, a prototype application is discussed that provides the means for cost measurement. |
