The First International Workshop on
Mobile Peer-to-Peer Computing (MP2P'04)
http://www.comp.polyu.edu.hk/~mp2p2004
In conjunction with the 2nd IEEE International Conference on
Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom’04)
Orlando, Florida, USA, March 14 – 17, 2004
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing is a networking and distributed computing paradigm which allows the sharing of computing resources and services by direct, symmetric interaction between computers. With the advance in mobile wireless communication technology and the increasing number of mobile users, P2P computing, in both academic research and industrial development, has recently begun to extend its scope to address problems relevant to mobile devices and wireless networks. The special characteristics of mobile environments, such as highly variable connectivity, disconnection, location-dependency, and energy and resource sensitivity, and the diversity in wireless networks bring new challenges for research in mobile P2P computing.
MP2P’04 is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of mobile P2P computing. It will address the challenges, technologies, and architectures leading to real-world solutions that provide users with direct access and control of their critical peer-based information and services, regardless of location or device. The principal theme of MP2P’04 is the development of protocols, systems and applications for mobile P2P computing. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
· Architecture and platforms for mobile P2P computing
· Routing protocols for mobile P2P computing
· Resource and service discovery in mobile P2P computing
· Peer access and control in mobile environment
· Data exchange and rendering techniques for mobile devices
· Secure communication protocols for mobile P2P computing
· Mobile P2P messaging systems
· Peer-to-peer broadband wireless communications
· Applications of mobile P2P
