Abstract
A Peer-to-peer Data Network (PDN) is an open and evolving society of peer nodes that assemble into a network to share their data. We argue that with a self-organising, dynamic, and large-scale architecture, instead of traditional distributed computing systems, PDNs should be classified with natural complex systems (such as social networks). The 'complex system theory' is a meta-theory that provides a common modelling framework to study such complex systems under one umbrella. In this paper, for the first time we introduce and apply the complex system theory as a modelling framework to study PDNs.
