Object-oriented programming in peer-to-peer systems

Object-oriented programming in peer-to-peer systems

Leveraged by the success of applications aiming at the ‘free’ sharing of data in the Internet, the paradigm of peer-to-peer (P2P) computing has had substantial consideration devoted to it recently. This paper presents a high-level abstraction for remote object interaction in a P2P environment, called borrow/lend (BL). We present the principles underlying our BL abstraction, and illustrate how t...

Service-Oriented Semantic Peer-to-Peer Systems

In Peer-to-Peer data sharing systems, peers typically play equal roles and have equal capabilities. From the service perspective, peers provide a single service. For this reason, there is no need to explicitly model services. We argue, that for knowledge sharing systems, we need an effective combination of the capabilities of the peers both in terms of the services as well as the content they p...

Decentralized Object Location In Dynamic Peer-to-Peer Distributed Systems

On Object Maintenance in Peer-to-Peer Systems

I studied the interaction of language runtime systems (JVMs, Microsoft Common Language Runtime) with operating systems in the context of running multiple applications (Java/.Net programs). Two broad approaches to running multiple applications in runtime virtual machines (VMs) are running all applications in a single process (a single VM approach), or running a separate process for each applicat...

A Service-Oriented Model for Embedded Peer-to-Peer Systems

This paper introduces a service-oriented model for the development of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems. We first describe the set of abstract primitives supported by the model, and then the semantics for a simple calculus over these primitives that provides a solid ground to develop tools for the analysis and verification of P2P specifications.
