Contextualized mobile information retrieval in hybrid P2P environment

Context-aware computing benefits mobile applications by adapting systems behavior through user surrounding. However, contextualized information retrieval for mobile user in mobile P2p environment still remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we present JHPeer framework for mobile information retrieval (IR) in hybrid peer to peer (P2P) networks. JHPeer incorporates context engine to fit on mobile devices to enable context-based personal information retrieval. A prototype system has been developed based on JHPeer framework for retrieving, indexing and sharing user information on mobile devices in P2P environment.
