Welcome to peers@play

The peers@play project investigates how peer-to-peer technology can be used to create distributed interactive world models that are able to fulfill the highest requirements with respect to scalability, security and consistency. Such world models can, e.g., be used to create world-wide virtual communities, or globally operating context management systems.
To do so, we build upon the current state of the art of peer-to-peer research to develop new concepts, protocols and algorithms for large scale peer-to-peer systems. Our system is aimed to:

  • operate completely decentralized and self-organized
  • provide a consistent world view
  • offer persistency and availability of the world model state
  • tolerate high levels of interactivity
  • be scalable and efficient
  • guarantee security
  • allow an evolving world using continuous maintenance and updates.


Realizing the high complexity of these goals, the Universities of Mannheim, Duisburg-Essen, and Hannover have joined forces and cooperatively undertake this research effort. For more information about our project, please refer to the sub categories to the left or contact Dr. rer. nat. Gregor Schiele.
