Abstract

In this paper we propose an approach for discovering unused resources and utilizing them in on-line multiplayers games in P2P environments. The proposed SelfAid Network automatically deploys and manages services running on machines belonging to end-users and connects players using the discovered resources. SelfAid Network consumes only spare resources, following the trend of sharing economy.
