Abstract

The huge amount of recent activities in peer-to-peer (P2P) computing led to the development of a number of applications and protocols all dealing with similar problems and providing different noninteroperable implementations. In this paper, we present a framework for resource management and information storage in P2P networks. Our framework aims at providing an easy to use and flexible model for P2P computing encouraging more modularized application development and permitting reuse of components. To provide efficient localization of resources and representation of information, our resource management framework (RMF) forms a distributed information space enabling not only flat storage of information but forming graph structures that can be used to build new kinds of applications enabling the users to browse the contents of a P2P network.
