Abstract

Given the current explosion in peer-to-peer based protocol implementations, application developers require a means of abstracting the individual characteristics of specific peer-to-peer implementations away from their application logic. The Resource Management Framework provides a unified model of peer-to-peer computing which is independent of the underlying protocols. To this end, a data model and APIs for both application and peer-to-peer protocol developers are provided which hide many of the intricate details, such as database management and redundancy, inherent in all peer-to-peer systems. A first application of the Resource Management Framework has been demonstrated via the implementation of a FIPA compliant, distributed, ad-hoc Directory Facilitator for the Java Agent DEvelopment Framework (JADE).
