This work describes a generic peer to peer (P2P) simulator for service oriented networks. The tool has been designed to test different algorithms, the version presented here includes the implementation of a collaborative file sharing service, designed to simulate different user behaviours with the goal of analyzing the impact of malicious users on this kind of service. The file sharing service proposal includes a coalition formation algorithm and a reputation mechanism to ensure service equity, based on game theory.
