Instead, a loose peer-to-peer relationship between track managers allows them to negotiate directly, alleviating the conflict through demand relaxation or by using alternate sensors.
Recently, different research projects attempt to overcome this limitation by integrating schematic and conceptual knowledge into peer-to-peer environments.
These environments include the use of ontologies in peer-to-peer and pervasive computing systems.
Encourage self-managed learning teams with "flat hierarchies" and responsible peer-to-peer collaboration.
Probably the most famous are the peer-to-peer (p2p) programs, which have angered record companies and copyright holders.
