Distributed files sharing management: A file sharing application using distributed computing concepts

File sharing is a common basic requirement when the users work on a particular domain or area of interest. We have designed and implemented an application that utilizes the concepts of distributed computing and provides with the necessary functionality of remote file sharing and accessing where the files of interest are distributed across the network but the users have an illusion of a centralized file system and access them accordingly. The overall focus is on location and access transparency along with the utilization of a fault tolerance mechanism.
