Building Peer-to-Peer Middleware Infrastructure with Web Services

点对点（P2P）计算是一个定义作为客户机和服务器的系统之间交互的框架。Web服务技术是基于可扩展标记语言（eXtensible Markup Language， XML）的一组不断发展的Web标准，被认为是分布式计算的最新方法。在这个项目中，我们的目标是建立一种新型的P2P架构框架，它是真正可互操作和分布式的，在互联网范围内是独立于平台和语言的。通过使用Web服务和消息队列，该项目还旨在开发一个健壮的中间件基础设施，该基础设施由一组工具和编程库组成，以简化在异构平台上开发可验证的P2P应用程序。

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing is a framework defining the interactions between systems acting as both clients and servers. Web services technology is an evolving set of Web standards based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML), and is considered as the newest approach to distributed computing. In this project, we aim to build a new type of P2P architectural framework that is truly interoperable and distributed, being platform and language independent in an Internet-wide context. Using Web services and message queuing, this project also aims to develop a robust middleware infrastructure consisting of a set of tools and programming libraries to ease the development of verifiable P2P applications on heterogeneous platforms.
