A Platform for Peer-to-Peer Communications and its Relation to Semantic Web Applications

Abstract

The peer-to-peer service has entered the public limelight over the last few years. Several research projects are underway on peer-to-peer technologies, but no definitive conclusion is currently available. Compared to traditional Internet technologies, peer-to-peer has the potential to realize highly scalable, extensible, and efficient distributed applications. This is because of its basic functions: resource discovery, resource sharing, and load balancing in a highly distributed manner. An easy prediction is the emergence of an environment in which many sensors, people, and many different kinds of objects exist, move, and communicate with one another; it is called the "ubiquitous communication environment".
