| Summary: | <p>In this paper, we present our initial work on a Portal-based peer-to-peer (P2P) system for large dataset distribution. Our aim is to create infrastructure that can be used by the scientific community, on the basis of other social networks, help download and maintain large datasets. We first outline some of the difficulties handling very large scientific datasets. Then we discuss P2P file sharing and storage applications that are commonly used today. We then outline our hierarchical P2P system design, which is based around a shared-portal service and our unique mini-peer that is embedded in a Web browser. To verify our system we have been investigating P2P simulation packages that will be used to emulate various set up and utilisation scenarios. In the near future work, based on initial investigations we will implement our system and test it by managing very large datasets.</p> |
