Abstract

Developers of classical client-server CSCW systems are facing a true dilemma: They created a working cooperation environment for many scenarios of cooperative work. Since users get independent from fixed places by using mobile devices interconnected by ad-hoc networks, the support of mobility becomes an important topic of CSCW. Furthermore, while client-server architectures do not work well in dynamic networks, P2P systems enter the field of CSCW. But, is it a good approach to discard the well working client-server system in order to implement a brand-new P2P system from scratch? Our approach is extending our CSCW platform step-by-step with P2P abilities without loosing the advantages of client-server computing. This paper describes the first step of wrapping the RMI-based communication protocol into an industry standard P2P protocol called JXTA.
