: As Peer Data Management Systems (PDMS) are a focus of current research, there are lots of approaches like query processing or routing issues that have to be evaluated. Since there is no common platform approaches are evaluated in separate. This is disadvantageous for research groups in two ways. First, it means a huge effort to build a simulation environment from scratch. Second, this makes a direct comparison of approaches more difficult. In this paper, we present SmurfPDMS an extensible system that means to provide a common platform for all researchers in that they can easily integrate their approaches and that allows for running large simulation experiments in distributed environments such as workstation clusters or even PlanetLab.
