P2P Universal Computing Consortium (PUCC) is promoting research and development of an open P2P/Overlay network service platform that connects multi-types of devices users use, and conducts the standardization efforts. PUCC is a cross-industry consortium for open P2P/Overlay network standards. PUCC operations are supported by a combination of membership dues and public grants.
Objectives Realize a seamless peer-to-peer communication platform that enables the creations of high level ubiquitous service between multi type networks and devices Create neutral protocols through cross-industry cooperation by sharing comm-interoperable on goals and visions Conduct research and development to create compelling technologies that support our everyday lives.

History In 2004, PUCC (P2P Universal Computing Consortium) was founded in Tokyo . The founding members were NTT DoCoMO, Ericsson, Kyoto University, and Keio University. April 2005: The Working Groups were started. started standardization work on an open overlay network in the area of several applications, as well as core communication protocols and metadata. July 2006: First government supported R&D was started. R&D work on harmonization of mobile network, home network, imaging devices was conducted using government funds. March 2007: First PUCC specifications were published. June 2007: PUCC joined the Healthy Living project, as a part of the Information Grand Voyage Project, supported by METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). November 2008: PUCC continuously supports the Information Grad Voyage Project. PUCC open overlay network is used as a platform to gather information and NON-IP networks and devices such as sensor networks, USB, Bluetooth.
