Includes bibliographical references (leaves 87-88). This thesis will explore the design and optimization of a peer-to-peer network application as a solution to complex content management problems. Currently, most content management systems are expensive, cumbersome and inflexible custom solutions that require knowledge workers to change their work habits. Peer-to-peer offers a uniquely decentralized and, potentially, scalable solution for knowledge workers by providing a simple and visual tool for file management, meta-data description and collaboration. This thesis will reference a client beta designed and developed by the author. Additionally, this thesis will address the need for content management solutions, the state of current solutions and a requirements document for a solution. Subsequently, the thesis will explore the design aspects of a peer-to-peer content management solution. As well as designing and developing a P2P client as proof of concept, this thesis will mathematically explore the implications of scaling the client to many users and methods to optimize performance. The last few chapters will cover the implementation of the client, proposed next steps for development and analysis of alternative architectures. by Dion M. Edge.
