P2pCM: A structured peer-to-peer grid component model

Abstract

In this paper we present p2pCM, a new distributed component-oriented model aimed to structured peer-to-peer grid environments. Our model offers innovative contributions like a lightweight distributed container model, an adaptive component activation mechanism, which takes into account network proximity, and a decentralized component location and deployment service. We believe that all of the features our component-oriented model provides can be very promising for the development of future wide-area distributed applications. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
