ECE 579 - Advanced Topics in Computer Engineering: Peer-to-Peer Computing

Fall 2001

Project Overview

• Project Overview:
  The objective of the course projects is to evaluate existing P2P technologies, frameworks, and mechanisms. The project will consist of first selecting  and specifying a set (3 - 5) representative P2P applications that stress particular issues in P2P (e.g. security, messaging, discovery, sharing, etc.). Then each student will select specific frameworks, technologies, and/or algorithms and will evaluate them using this common set of applications. The group will then combine results and make overall evaluations and comparisons about the existing P2P landscape.
