Somewhere2 - A robust package for collaborative decentralized consequence-finding

Abstract

This paper presents Somewhere2, a new framework that may be used for setting up peer-to-peer inference systems and for solving consequence finding problems in a completely decentralized way. It is a complete redesign and reengineering of an earlier platform. The new architecture has gained in genericity, modularity and robustness. It is much easier to extend and/or to reuse as a building block for advanced distributed applications, such as Peer Data Management Systems. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
