A Java class library integrates mobile agent platform and P2P.
EditBy: Summary of Features

PIAX is a Java class library that integrates mobile agent platform and P2P structured Overlay network. In other words, processes of mobile agents are supported by peer discovery or peer messaging mechanism in P2P overlay network.

The features of PIAX is as follows:

* Powerful P2P agent mechanism with simple APIs
* Built-in versatile P2P overlay networks (e.g., LL-Net, DHT, Skip Graph)
* Multi-overlay mechanism for plug-in Independent P2P overlay networks
* Unified APIs for discovering peers and messaging Between agents
* Distributed under MIT license (open source)

Project News for PIAX

*PIAX 2.1.0 released
PIAX 2.1.0 is released. PIAX is an open source framework to develop P2P and overlay network applications. It integrates mobile agents and overlay network mechanisms transparently. This integration enables flexible, effective, and easy development of distributed applications.

The new features of this version are following:

- New kinds of Mobile Agents are added.
TraversalAgent, that traverses condition-matched nodes and CloneAgent, that creates Clones on condition-matched nodes are newly supported.
- New overlay network Range-key Skip Graph.
Range-key Skip Graps can handle range vs. range discoveries.
- Now the transport Layer allows co-existence of diffrent kind of locators.
For example, a node with a TCP locator and one with a UDP with NAT traversal locator can co-exist.
- Package hierarchy is rearranged.
- Some important bug fixes. you can free download PIAX 2.1.0 now.
