TOPIC: Peer-to-Peer E-Commerce Architecture

Abstract
Peer-to-Peer Network has its advantage in scalability and fault tolerance, however, current e-commerce systems are all build on centralized system. In our project, we propose a design and implementation of structured peer-to-peer architecture that facilitate the e-commerce activities. We adopted Bestpeer architecture which developed by University of Singapore has its advantage in resource locating compared to others peer-to-peer architectures. The Bestpeer has two layers, which are bootstrap layer and server layer. To enable E-Commerce, we integrated the network with client layer and then modified bootstrap layer and server layer components accordingly to this insertion.
