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
This project is in the early design phase. No functional code exists as of
yet.
