Abstract
Automatic exchange of information in an ad-hoc computing environment is disclosed. According to one embodiment of the invention, a collection agent module facilitates a search for a first device to connect to via a wireless network. The collection agent queries for and receives a first document from the first device based on metadata associated with the first document and the collection agent automatically forwards the received first document to a second device connected to the wireless network upon receiving the first document from the first device. The collection agent also automatically sends a second document to the first device upon the first device connecting to the wireless network.
