Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is clearly valuable in modern computational environments, which are best described as open, emphasizing the autonomy and heterogeneity of their constituents. However, conventional P2P approaches fail to realize the full potential of P2P computing. However, when we take an agent-based view of P2P - with the agents acting as peers and modeling, communicating, and learning about each other - P2P offers a powerful architecture for large-scale information systems. The agent-based P2P approach easily addresses the challenges of service discovery, location, composition, execution, and monitoring, which are key to modern information systems. It also promises to provide a natural means for applying the participants' context in helping them find and use information and services. Further, the agent-based P2P approach offers a conceptually well-founded basis for structuring information systems, which can be thought of as a dynamic, context-sensitive analog of link analysis on today's static Web.
