P2P Application - Document Management System January 27, 2006
What is Document Management System (DMS) ?
Originally, a document management system was a computer program (or set of programs) used to track and store images of paper documents. More recently, the term has been used to distinguish between imaging and records management systems that specialize in paper capture and records respectively. Document management systems commonly provide check-in, check-out, storage and retrieval of electronic documents often in the form of word processor files and the like. (Definition Courtesy “Wikipedia”)
A traditional DMS is a centralized solution with a single document repository held at corporate level. This kind of a solution requires actions …
What is Service-oriented Peer-to-Peer Architecture? January 25, 2006
“SP2A is a thin framework enabling peer-to-peer based Grids. In practice, SP2A is a lightweight java package allowing the development of service-oriented peers (SOPs).
Several SP2A-based SOP prototypes are under development. These SOPs can be used to form unstructured supernode networks (USNs), and exchange information about the services they host using 3rd generation (DHT-based) P2P message routing algorithms. Each SOP is allowed to explore local services, to publish service advertisements remotely, and to search for remote services”More details can be found on the SP2A site. The work is currently focused on technologies; in particular, WS deployment in the P2P network is …
Types of P2P Networks January 23, 2006
Peer-to-peer Architecture
Often referred to simply as peer-to-peer, or abbreviated P2P, peer-to-peer architecture is a type of network in which each workstation has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities. This differs from client/server architectures where some computers are dedicated to serving the others. Peer-to-peer networks are generally simpler but they usually do not offer the same performance under heavy loads. The P2P network itself relies on computing power at the ends of a connection rather than from within the network itself.P2P is often mistakenly used as as a term to describe one user linking with another user to transfer information and files …
Upcoming P2P Application Ideas January 18, 2006
I came across this website from Singapore which had a list of new research P2P projects. Personally I can see tremendous growth and work in the Data mining in specific competence areasDistributed Genomic Data Management and Mining
The discovery of new proteins necessitates complex analysis in order to determine their functions and classifications. The main technique that scientists use in determining this information has two phases. The first phase involves searching known protein databases for proteins that “match'’ the unknown protein. The second phase involves analyzing the functions and classifications of the similar proteins in an attempt to infer commonalities …

Email This PostP2P Security with solution like Aimster
With all the law suits and security being a concern, it is becoming more and more critical to know that you can trust the peer at the other end.
Multiple applications have sprouted to make use of this concept like G2G and Aimster. I will focus in this post on AimsterAimster is an instant messenger/file sharing tool tied to AOL buddy list. With Aimster you can:
1. Target the hottest files on AOL, Gnutella and Microsoft networking. Aimster gives you the fastest, most complete searching of the hottest files on the major internet file-sharing services …
Smallest P2P Client
With the increasing popularity of P2P, creative juices of people have started flowing. Now individuals are competing in terms of who can write the smallest P2P client. TinyP2P is a functional peer-to-peer file sharing application, written in fifteen lines of code, in the Python programming language. Ed Felten has written TinyP2P to illustrate the difficulty of regulating peer-to-peer applications. To counter that Matthew Skala a diehard Perl hacker in his own words, created a client is just 9-lines of perl code. Check out his MoleSter
Another one out there is uP2P which is short concise (6 lines, …
Email This PostTop 10 P2P Clients
This post has been long overdue. With so many P2P clients out there, sometimes it is hard to pick which one to go for…which is not surprising because I am too..
In addition, all the legal battles going on don’t help the cause either. A bunch of The P2P programs like Grokster have called it “quits” or as I saw mentioned in some blogs “thrown in the towel”!
Below are some of the clients that I would place my bet on (in no particular order) but then many of you may disagree…. But hey what the heck this is a free country …
Operation of peer-to-peer networks January 8, 2006
Three major types of P2P network are:Pure P2P:
- Peers act as clients and server
- There is no central server managing the network
- There is no central router
Hybrid P2P:
- Has a central server that keeps information on peers and responds to requests for that information.
- Peers are responsible for hosting the information (as the central server does not store files), for letting the central server know what files they want to share, and for downloading its shareable resources to peers that request it.
- Route terminals are used addresses, which are referenced by a set of indices to obtain an absolute address.
Mixed P2P:
- Has both pure and hybrid characteristics
