Peer-to-Peer Working Group

---

The Peer-to-Peer WG (P2Pwg) has its beginnings from a grassroots effort to investigate and explore the many aspects of peer-to-peer, beyond the resource management issues that bring the most notoriety. The working group will focus on best practices, trends and collaboration efforts that were seeded in the successful January 2002 P2P Workshop.

Working Group Mission
1. To provide a forum for reporting on recent occurrences and future trends within the peer-to-peer and distributed computing space. The forum may occur at the regular member meetings, at Joint Techs meetings or at specific workshops designated for the topic.

2. To be a clearinghouse for collaborative opportunities within the higher education community and between that community and corporate entities as new peer-to-peer and distributed computing applications and tools are investigated.

3. To provide best practices documents for both resource management as well as innovative uses of peer-to-peer technologies.

4. To provide a central repository for resources and documents related to all aspects of peer-to-peer computing
