This panel discussion is an exploration of the nexus(es) between Peer-to-Peer and Web Services, and focuses on finding the commonalities (and
differences) in what seems to be a confluence of two ever-similar world views.
Are Web services too Web-centric to be considered true P2P? How is this related to today's P2P applications employing their own little Web servers?
What problems do XML-based Web Services and decentralized P2P frameworks
solve for one-another? Are SOAP and XML-RPC strong enough to provide some
of the glue?
