Virtual Remote Server

The Virtual Remote Server (VRS) is a pure p2p server cluster that provides 
various Web Services to the internet.  It\'s design also offers several of the 
most important advantages of a centralized server.  Those are 

1) a persistant, easily accessable net presence, and 

2) a consistant response to requests based on a common and manageable database 
of files and WebService components.

The VRS might be described as a loosely coupled, dynamically distributed 
failover server cluster.  The Servers, as a whole, is made up of loosely 
coupled Local  Data Servers running on participating computers.  The Local 
Servers are linked and identify each other in a manner similar to the Gnutilla 
design.  Each Local Data  Server (LDS) responds to WebService component 
requests using appropriate internet protocols.
  
The system aims for the following goals:

* To allow a user complete control over the content and access to        
personal data as webservices
* To maximize reliable availability of webservices
* To maximize the security and privacy of data
* To provide choice of participation and service selection
