Enabling Wide-Area Service Oriented Architecture through the p2pWeb Model

In this paper we present the p2pWeb service oriented architecture (SOA). The p2pWeb model offers decentralized solutions for service description, publication, discovery and availability, following the web services standards. The three innovative contributions in p2pWeb SOA are: easy integration of web services into a p2pWeb network, secure and decentralized web services deployment, and transparent location, load balancing and fault-tolerance peer-to-peer mechanisms. We believe that all the features our p2pWeb model offers can be of special interest for the creation of communities, and for the development of future collaborative decentralized applications.
