Abstract. In this paper we examine the database management of spatiotemporal resource information in mobile peer-to-peer networks, where moving objects communicate with each other via short-range wireless transmission. Several inherent characteristics of this environment, including the dynamic and unpredictable network topology, the limited peer-to-peer communication throughput, and the need for incentive for peer-to-peer cooperation, impose challenges to data management. In this paper we propose our solutions to these problems. The proposed system has the potential to create a completely new information marketplace.
