Hi My name is João Martins and I am a post graduated student in Communication at Universidade Federal Fluminense, (or Fluminense Federal University, if you like), seated in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, researching for my thesis about social dynamics of cooperation in the development of the Gnutella Protocol. Besides the work in my project I am working also, as a volunteer, in the documentation of http://rfc- gnutella.sourceforge.net/, a project that assembles the various documents that make up the Gnutella RFC. My responsibilities are associated with the research directory, with intent to gather together the academic interest in that protocol. So, I want to ask your advice regarding the existent bibliography upon the protocol. The main perspective of rfc-gnutella relates to the technology, but my interest is to implement a sociological view. So, I am asking your advice. Any interesting papers or thesis are welcome. Thanks João Martins Further identification Post graduated program in Communication at Universidade Federal Fluminense seated in Rua Tiradentes, 148, Ingá, Niterói, 24510- 590 Tel 55-21-2618-3409 João Martins. 55-21-2508-8408, joaomartinsladeira@bol.com.br This work is supported by Faperj, foment institution of the Rio de Janeiro state government.
