2. Introduction
Peer-to-peer computing has suddenly emerged as the forefront of Internet computing in areas such as file sharing, collaboration, and information sourcing & discovery.
Some of the advantages of P2P computing are
Scalability
Low Cost
Strong Affinity Groups
Nodes work in collaboration and send request messages to other nodes in the network for sharing of information.

3. Problem Statement
Retrieval from the web provided outdated information without protecting user anonymity and authentication.
Current P2P systems have slow downloads. Downloads can be done from only from one peer
No intelligency present in routing requests

4. Existing Solutions File sharing (Napster, Gnutella)
Group collaboration (Jxta [Sun])
Distributed storage (FreeNet)
Distributed computation

5. Our Solution Distributed retrieval of information
InfoShare is a pure Peer-to-peer network that will allow files to be inserted, stored and requested anonymously with efficient dynamic storage and routing of information and decentralization of all network functions.
Distributed retrieval of information
Efficient Routing mechanism
Intelligent Peers
Anonymity

6. Technology Used Java Message Service (JMS)
Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)
JBuilder x.0
Microsoft Access

7. DEMO

28. Accomplishment
Design and implementation of proprietary InfoShare Retrieval Protocol (ISRP).
Basic P2P model implementation with a unique feature of distributed retrieval which is not provided by any existing P2P solutions.
Developed and implemented algorithm for distributed retrievals.
A massive project of about 27 classes and ~5000 lines of code almost completed in a very short duration.

29. Future Work
Submitting a paper in ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS , FL, USA
Security and encryption
Compression for handling different file formats.
Backup links in case of failures.
Overlay networks.
Rigorous experiments for evaluating InfoShare against other existing P2P solutions
