INTRODUCTION

    VamPeer is the outcome of a Master Thesis by Beat Strasser, supervised by
    Till Bay and Prof. Bertrand Meyer.

ABSTRACT

    The goal of this master thesis is to equip Eiffel with a peer-to-peer
    framework.  The well-known JXTA protocol was chosen for that purpose.

    VamPeer aims to be an Eiffel binding for JXTA, currently offering the
    essential services used in a typical edge peer.  It thus allows to discover
    remote peers and to communicate with other peers through a TCP transport.
    Implementing the discovery service, it is possible to query for local and
    remote entities.  The library is fully compatible with the latest JXTA JSE
    reference implementation.
