Propagation time on permissionless blockchain plays a significant role in terms of stability and performance in the decentralized systems. A large number of activities are disseminated to the whole nodes in the decentralized peer-to-peer network, thus causing propagation delay. The stability of the system is our concern in the first place. The propagation delay opens up opportunities for attackers to apply their protocol. Either by accelerating or decelerating the propagation time directly without proper calculation, it brings numerous negative impacts to the entire blockchain system. In this paper, we thoroughly review and elaborate on several parameters related to the propagation time in such a system. We describe our findings in terms of data communication, transaction propagation, and the possibility of an interference attack that caused an extra propagation time. Furthermore, we present the influence of block size, consensus, and blockchain scalability, including the relation of parameters. In the last session, we remark several points associated with the propagation time and use cases to avoid dilemmas in the light of the experiments and literary works.

Though P2P network systems are widely used, not so much research has been done on security issues. One of the serious problem in P2P network is the authentication problem. To resolve this problem, we introduce a new concept, a "self-reputation system" in which a user manages her own reputation. We define self-reputation systems by presenting several requirements. We also give one instance of self-reputation system. The proposed instance satisfies the requirement including the prevention of erasing and the platform independence.ependence.

PECOLE (Peer-to-Peer Collaborative Environment) is a P2P-based multimedia distributed collaborative environment supporting a collaborative workspace which is composed of a variety of collaborative applications such as multi-chat, video conferencing, screen sharing and etc. Unfortunately, due to the PECOLE's simple group management, it is impossible to perform collaboration activities while joining multiple groups. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of PECOLE+ which is an extension of PECOLE. PECOLE+ resolves the drawback of PECOLE by providing the Group Management Service and the Workspace Management Service. The Group Management Service provides functionalities such as creating groups, joining multiple groups, and searching groups, and etc. The Workspace Management Service provides each group with an associated workspace, supporting the execution of collaborative applications over the workspace. In addition, any collaborative applications with the provided plug-in interfaces can be executed over the workspace as a PECOLE+ collaborative application.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of physical, psychological, and social factors on the health status of patients undergoing hemodialysis using longitudinal data. Methods: Two surveys were conducted within a period of two-year. A total of 75 patients participated in both surveys. Eight variables including symptoms, treatment belief, hope, meaning-focused coping, family support, friend/peer support, healthcare provider support, and health status were measured. Data were analyzed by paired t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regressions. Results: The mean age of the participants was 47.31 and the average duration of dialysis was 8.27 years. There was no difference in scores on perceived health status between the two year-interval surveys. The two-year follow-up on perceived health status was correlated with baseline perceived health status, friend/peer support, meaning-focused coping, hope, and symptoms. As the result of the regression analysis, friends/peer support (${\beta}=.31$, p=.013) and baseline perceived health status (${\beta}=.30$, p=.020) were found to be significant predictors of subsequent health status which explained 39.0% of the variance. Conclusion: This study suggests the importance of psychosocial resources for positive health outcomes in patients with a chronic illness. Nursing interventions aimed to provide renal peer support need to be developed and tested.

최근 유비쿼터스 및 모바일 환경에서 Peer-to-Peer(P2P)시스템에 대한 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 모바일 환경에서는 모바일 환경의 제약사항과 함께 이동성이라는 특징이 중요하게 고려된다. 노드의 이동에 의해서 네트워크의 주소가 변경되어 P2P 네트워크 망에서 유효하지 않은 접속 정보들이 생기고 이러한 정보들이 검색 및 P2P 시스템의 전체적인 성능을 떨어뜨리게 된다. 이 논문은 이러한 접속 정보들의 불일치를 해결하여 접속 정보를 유지하기 위한 효과적인 방법론인 이동전파 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘은 접속 정보의 불일치를 해결하기 위해 정보를 빠르게 처리해서 P2P 시스템의 성능을 향상하는 것을 목표로 한다. DHT 기반 P2P 시스템을 기반으로 하여 제안하는 알고리즘을 적용하여 실험을 하였으며, 그 결과로 처음 신규 발견된 정보를 재 발견하는 경우에 성능이 기존의 DHT 기반의 P2P 시스템보다 80% 향상되었음을 알 수 있다.
