MP2P'04: Deadline extended to Oct 10, 2003

1st 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)

(http://www.percom.org/)

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
