In this paper we present a distributed cache architecture for occasionally connected systems. The system is realised using
an underlying P2P-infrastructure. The gridNet Framework provides a transparent interface for working with distributed cache-objects.
The paper also contains a description of an envisioned example application running on top of the GridNet framework.
