Title: Resource Information Retrieval Using SENS - A Scalable and Expressive Naming System Authors: Nguyen, Hoai Son MORIKAWA, Hiroyuki Keywords: Resource Information;SENS Issue Date: 2006 Publisher: ĐHCN Abstract: We design a scalable and expressive naming system called SENS, which can retrieve information of computing and content resourcesdistributed widely on the Internet by exact queries and multi-attributerange queries over resource names. Our system utilizes a descriptive nam-ing scheme to name resources and a multi-dimensional resour ce ID spacefor message routing through the overlay network of name servers (NSs). The resource ID space is constructed on the overlay network based on CAN routing algorithm. We propose a novel mapping scheme between resource names and resource IDs, which can preserve the locality of resource IDs while still achieving a good degree of load balancing regarding resource information distribution. We also propose a multicast routing algorithm
