ABSTRACT
Peer-to-peer systems appear promising in terms of their ability to support ad hoc, spontaneous collaboration. However, current peer-to-peer systems suffer from several deficiencies that diminish their ability to support this domain, such as inflexibility in terms of discovery protocols, network usage, and data transports. We have developed the Speakeasy framework, which addresses these issues, and supports these types of applications. We show how Speakeasy addresses the shortcomings of current peer-to-peer systems, and describe a demonstration application, called Casca, that supports ad hoc peer-to-peer collaboration by taking advantages of the mechanisms provided by Speakeasy.

Recommendations
Enhancing peer-to-peer content discovery techniques over mobile ad hoc networks
Content dissemination over mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is usually performed using peer-to-peer (P2P) networks due to its increased resiliency and efficiency when compared to client-server approaches. P2P networks are usually divided into two types, ...
A peer-to-peer overlay approach for emergency mobile ad hoc network based multimedia communications
Mobimedia '09: Proceedings of the 5th International ICST Mobile Multimedia Communications ConferenceOverlay networks are located on top of the physical network and are generally favored for the implementation of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks providing services such as voice over IP (VoIP) communications. The operation of the overlay network results in ...
Exploiting the synergy between peer-to-peer and mobile ad hoc networks
HOTOS'03: Proceedings of the 9th conference on Hot Topics in Operating Systems - Volume 9We argue that there exists a synergy between peer-to-peer (p2p) overlay networks for the Internet and mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) connecting mobile nodes communicating with each other via multi-hop wireless links-both share the key characteristics ...
