A P2p Collaborative Framework for Smartphone

This study investigates the incorporation of peer-to-peer (P2P) computing model into smartphone, and discusses its potential benefits for collaborative mobile users. The goal of this study is to establish a P2P computing environment for network-capable smartphone. Besides, in order to support the interoperability of smartphones and allow them to share information seamlessly, this study proposes a service oriented P2P framework, utilizing XML and SOAP as the underlying communication media. A prototyping system of the proposed system is implemented. Its implications and applications are also discussed.
