Welcome
to KAONp2p
Introduction
KAONp2p is a semantics-based P2P system -
based on the KAON2 ontology management system. KAONp2p
provides distributed reasoning capabilities for the expressive web
ontology language OWL, along with a peer selection process to identify
relevant knowledge sources in the peer network. In a peer community, as
peers may have different domains of interests or different views on a
domain, KAONp2p provides a mapping mechanism to realize the
interoperability of the system. KAONp2p also implements a dynamic user
interface, which allows users to tailor the application to their
application domain. It was developed in Institute AIFB, university of Karlsruhe, Germany.
Features
KAONp2p
provides the following features:
• Expressive
Reasoning ability: KAONp2p supports OWL-DL ontologies. It provides also distributed
reasoning ability and supports complex query answering.
• Interoperability:
KAONp2p supports mappings between various domain ontologies in peer
community.
• A
dynamic User Interface: KAONp2p can provide specific user interface
according to the different domain ontologies.
Downloading
and Running KAONp2p
KAONp2p
is available as a precompiled binary distribution as SWT application
and is free of charge
for research and academic purposes.
Microsoft
Windows Installer 0.40
KAONp2p has been fully implemented in Java 1.5, so please download the latest JDK from Sun. After downloading and unpacking the KAONp2p release file, please refer to the readme file for further documentation. The binary version contains the first release of KAONp2p, and in 0.30 version we created an installer and in 0.40 we refined the interface and usage of this system.

Future
work
• Trust
& Confidence is an important aspect which must be considered in a
P2P system. The security in a distributed network is relatively
difficult to handle than in a traditional centralized network. In our
current version of KAONp2p, we assume all the peers in the P2P
community are trustworthy and no malicious behaviour will occur. How to
construct a trust strategy with members or machines in the KAONp2p
system in order to imply confidence with the individual or system
interaction could be an interesting topic.
• KAONp2p
currently cannot detect the availability of peers, i.e. it can not
dectect which peer is actually connected on-line and doesn't support
dynamic peers leaving.
• KAONp2p
is currently based on "fully connected" network topology which is not
scalable. However, that is not a restriction of the system,the system
can work with any underlying network sub-layer. Building the system on
top of a structured overlay network in order to improve the perfermance
of the system could also be a future work.

About
KAONp2p
KAONp2p is firstly implemented by Guo Rui,
a master
student from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology-Lausanne(EPFL), as
his master graduation project. KAONp2p now is mained by Yimin Wang and
JIa Yu at Institute AIFB, University of Karlsruhe. The development of
the system is
accomplished under the guideline of Mr. Peter Haase at Institute of AIFB, University of
Karlsruhe, Germany. Mr. Peter Haase put forward the original proposal
of the project and provided theoretical and practical support
throughout this master project. Prof. Karl Aberer and Mr. Philippe Cudr-Mauroux also gave many valuable suggestions about
this project.
