What is Peer-to-Peer

The P2P computing is one of the technologies that is having a significant impact on the way Internet-scale systems are built. It is well established for applications such as file sharing and parallel distributed computation. The well establishment for P2P systems is built on the notion of sharing. One of the objectives of resource sharing is to increase some measure of the overall work done by the collection of resources. The authors present a service oriented architecture for sharing and managing resources in P2P systems. As P2P services have shown expedient way of interaction between peers utilizing different services, our architecture will extend the high utilization of P2P networks with service orientation for handling more services with better management and easy extendibility to further capitalize on the success of P2P networks.
