File name:	[C8] Α P2P communication architecture reflecting on the Plugs and Synapses model for ubiquitous computing systems.pdf##^^&&486294212.pdf
Abstract:	An important requirement for ubiquitous computing systems is the support from communication technologies; P2P networking being the primary candidate. This paper presents a P2P communication architecture that reflects upon a plug/synapse model. The proposed architecture is part of GAS (Gadgetware Architectural Style), a generic architectural style, which allows computational artefacts (eGadgets), to be easily combined into meaningful configurations by users. The plug/synapse model provides the necessary conceptual abstractions to access uniformly eGadget’s services and capabilities in order to realize a collective behavior. The implementation of the architecture consists of algorithms and protocols for wireless, connectionless communication as well as mechanisms for internal diffusion of information exchanged.
