Abstract
Built-in support for self-organization, reliability, and decentralized management makes peer-to-peer an inherently suitable paradigm for loosely coupled business collaboration applications. However, current raw peer-to-peer algorithms are not sufficient to fulfill the requirements of distributed business process management. In this paper, we make the case for a generic service layer between peer-to-peer overlay and business application; we identify a number of important service layer components, and we evaluate these components with respect to requirements gathered from an industrial case study: automotive collaborative product development (CPD).
