In this paper we present a new peer-to-peer (P2P)
middleware called CHEap Distributed ARchitecture
(Chedar). Chedar is totally decentralized and can be
used as a basis for P2P applications. Chedar tries
to continuously optimize its overlay network topology
for maximum performance. Currently Chedar combines
four different topology management algorithms
and provides functionality to monitor how the peer-topeer
network is self-organizing. It also contains basic
search algorithms for P2P resource discovery. Chedar
has been used for building a data fusion prototype and
a P2PDisCo distributed computing application, which
provides an interface for distributing the computation
of Java applications. To allow Chedar to be used in
mobile devices, the Mobile Chedar middleware has also
been developed.
