Abstract

We present a prototype application for distributed agreements in multi-parties negotiations, where the number of participants is statically unknown, new participants can dynamically join ongoing negotiations and each participant knows only those parties with whom interacted. The application is based on asynchronous communication and it exploits the D2PC protocol for committing or aborting the negotiation. The software architecture consists of three modular layers, with the D2PC compiled in the bottom layer and completely transparent to final users. Our prototype is tailored to the running scenario of Ad-Hoc networks used by rescue teams for disaster recovery.
