[Tccc] Release announcement: SpoVNet Overlay Software

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies)

Dear Colleagues,

the "Spontaneous Virtual Networks" (SpoVNet) project is proud to release
the first complete open source implementation of the SpoVNet
architecture for spontaneous and flexible creation of overlay-based
services and applications. Details on the architecture and the SpoVNet
project can be found in [1]. SpoVNet is funded by the National
Foundation of the State Baden-Württemberg, Germany (Baden-Württemberg
Stiftung gGmbH).

The SpoVNet software provides a convenient toolbox for the development
of overlay-based services and applications across heterogeneous
networks. It comprises base software, three examples for overlay-based
services, and a game application for demonstration purposes.
Specifically, this initial software release includes

- the award-winning SpoVNet-base "ariba" (successfully demonstrated at
ACM SIGCOMM 2009 [2] and IEEE INFOCOM 2010 [3]),
- the multicast service "MCPO" (also part of [2], [3]),
- the event notification service "EONSON" [4], [5],
- the event correlation service "Cordies" [6],
- and the multiplayer game "PlanetPI4" [7].

Software packages and documentation are available from

http://www.spovnet.de/download.

Feedback from the community is highly appreciated.

Please report experiences, wishes, and problems to feedback@spovnet.de.

Best regards,
Oliver Waldhorst
(on behalf of the SpoVNet team)
