ServiceNet: A P2P Service Network
This addresses the issue of finding online services for users, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing P2P and blockchain concepts without claiming major breakthroughs.
The paper tackles the problem of centralized service discovery and recommendation systems by proposing ServiceNet, a peer-to-peer network inspired by blockchain, which aims to provide an open, transparent, and self-managing ecosystem, with an initial implementation and performance evaluation presented.
Given a large number of online services on the Internet, from time to time, people are still struggling to find out the services that they need. On the other hand, when there are considerable research and development on service discovery and service recommendation, most of the related work are centralized and thus suffers inherent shortages of the centralized systems, e.g., adv-driven, lack at trust, transparence and fairness. In this paper, we propose a ServiceNet - a peer-to-peer (P2P) service network for service discovery and service recommendation. ServiceNet is inspired by blockchain technology and aims at providing an open, transparent and self-growth, and self-management service ecosystem. The paper will present the basic idea, an architecture design of the prototype, and an initial implementation and performance evaluation the prototype design.
