Engine description
- Wireless Information Sharing Engine WISE enables file sharing between N devices running the service. The number of devices is dynamic.
- Every device has either one or two folders dedicated for the service. One device can have one and another device two folders.
- If one folder is used, the device does not distinguish between its own and foreign files.
- If two folders are used, the device separates its own files from the files received from other devices.

Symbols
Initial states (example option A)
Final states (example option A)
If all devices use only one folder, the content of that folder is exactly the same after the syncronization.
Syncronization process (example option A)
This example process shows only one possibility of how devices interact with each other. During one syncronization every device interacts with all the other devices. During the interaction, the device can operate either as a client or a server.
Initial states (example option B)
Final states (example option B)
When option B is used, it is possible to extend the service to add restrictions to the files how they are shared between the devices. This, however, requires that information about other devices is saved.
