Abstract

Built-in support for self-organization, reliability, and decentralizedmanagement makes peer-to-peer an inherently suitable paradigmfor loosely coupled business collaboration applications. However, currentraw peer-to-peer algorithms are not sufficient to fulfill the requirementsof distributed business process management. In this paper, we make thecase for a generic service layer between peer-to-peer overlay and businessapplication; we identify a number of important service layer components,and we evaluate these components with respect to requirements gatheredfrom an industrial case study: automotive collaborative product development(CPD).
