What is Fusion?

The Fusion software has been developed in the  P2P-FUSION project. It is a new open source software system that supports audiovisual creative activities and makes it easy for anyone to create, reuse and share audio and video productions over the Internet legally, without costly servers and complicated system management. Fusion binds together a peer-to-peer network, a distributed semantic database, social enrichment features, support for embedded licenses and a social media application toolkit into an integrated easy-to-use solution.

The Fusion Platform, which is schematized on the right, consists of the following:

• Social Media Applications Toolkit (SMAK)
• Bumblebee
• Peerscape
• Mediaspace

The Fusion Desktop application, which is shown on top of the schematic and available for downloading, is a ready-made package that bundles a set of SMAK applications and the platform itself in an easy to install format. The application enables sharing of any files within groups of people in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network.
