Abstract

We explore the techniques of building Web services systems in a P2P environment. By fitting Web services into a P2P environment, we aim to add more flexibility and autonomy to Web services systems, and alleviate to some degree the inherent limitations of these centralized systems. As a case study, we present our project BP-Services. BP-Services is an experimental Web services platform built on BestPeer (http://xena1.ddns.comp.nus.edu.sg/p2p/) a generic P2P infrastructure designed and implemented collaboratively by the National University of Singapore and Fudan University of China (Ng, Ooi, & Tan, 2002).
