Scope


Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are decentralized, self-organizing distributed systems that cooperate to exchange data. These systems have emerged as the dominant consumer of residential Internet subscribers' bandwidth, and are being increasingly used in many different application domains. In the last few years, research on P2P systems has been quite intensive, and has produced remarkable results in scalability, robustness, location, distributed storage, and system measurements. Consequently, P2P systems continue to evolve, differentiating today's state-of-the-art from earlier instantiations such as Napster, KaZaA, Gnutella, and Morpheus.
 
Hot Topics in Peer-to-Peer Systems 2005 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners, from both industry and academia, in the fields of systems, networking, and theory, and to represent an occasion to share latest research results and ideas on P2P systems, thereby promoting research activities in this area. In addition to regular research papers to be selected on standard peer review, the program of the workshop will include invited talks, position papers, and panel discussions.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
 
 

bullet Peer-to-Peer systems and infrastructures
bullet Applications of Peer-to-Peer systems
bullet Performance  evaluation of Peer-to-Peer Systems
bullet Trust and security issues in Peer-to-Peer Systems
bullet Network support for Peer-to-Peer Systems
bullet Protocols for resource management/discovery/scheduling and their evaluation
bullet Fault tolerance in Peer-to-Peer systems
bullet Distributed Hash Tables and other scalable lookup algorithms
bullet Peer-to-Peer and autonomic computing
bullet Peer-to-Peer systems and Grids
