PIAX is a middleware for P2P distributed computing. By using PIAX core transport mechanism, you can write programs that utilize discovery features of overlays. PIAX also provides a mobile agent-based programming framework. You can write distributed programs that interact each other by using remote procedure calls among mobile agents.

The structure of PIAX is as follows:

• 'piax-gtrans' - Core modules of GTrans.
• 'piax-agent' - PIAX Agent modules.
• 'piax-dht' - A DHT implementation on PIAX.
• 'piax-gtrans-dtn' - Modules related to DTN, AdHoc and Bluetooth (experimental).
• 'piax-samples' - Some simple samples of GTrans and PIAX Agents.
• 'piax-shell' - A command-line application to demonstrate PIAX Agents.

cd into cloned source directory and mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean package. Of course you can do tests by eliminating -Dmaven.test.skip=true (it takes a while).

PIAX artifacts are available on Maven Central Repository. You can build your program using maven by following settings.
