The objective of this research is to establish a distributed information sharing mechanisms employing the notion of data independence, which is a fundamental idea in the database engineering field. One of the main achievements of this research is the design of a data management agent on a P2P agent platform which enables application-independent distributed information sharing. We also designed and implemented two kinds of service agents based on the implemented data management agents, i.e., an agent to get the number of data which meets a given condition and an agent to perform data processing based on rules.
