description

Mobile P2P environments are emerging as a result of rapid expansion of portable terminals that are able to establish direct wireless communication links among themselves. These kinds of terminals are under the control of persons and allowing interactions between their terminals is subject to trust between the individuals and their desire to preserve various aspects of autonomy against each other. In this paper we relate the concepts of node autonomy, heterogeneity and trust with each other, defining also numeric measures for them. We also investigate what kind of interactions (such as transactions, file exchanges) are possible at certain heterogeneity, autonomy and trust level between the terminals.
