Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss the data management issues in the “modern” peer-to-peer (P2P) data management systems. We intentionally use the phrase “modern” to differentiate these from the early P2P systems that were common prior to client/server computing. As indicated in Chapter 1, early work on distributed DBMSs had primarily focused on P2P architectures where there was no differentiation between the functionality of each site in the system. So, in one sense, P2P data management is quite old – if one simply interprets P2P to mean that there are no identifiable “servers” and “clients” in the system. However, the “modern” P2P systems go beyond this simple characterization and differ from the old systems that are referred to by the same name in a number of important ways, as mentioned in Chapter 1.
