================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS P2P 2006 6th IEEE International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing "Distributed computing at the edge of the Internet" Cambridge, UK September 6-8, 2006

http://p2p2006.csc.ncsu.edu/ ==================================================================

The Scope ---------

P2P2006 is the sixth in a series of annual conferences concerned with overlay network technologies. Overlay networks combine and share the resources owned by "client" devices that are distributed around the Internet. Examples of such overlay environments include Peer-to-Peer Systems and Grids, but in general, any large-scale distributed system characterized by decentralization and sharing of resources can benefit from an overlay-based approach.

The focus of this year's conference is on applications and the scalability, robustness, and security factors that enable mainstream deployment of peer-to-peer and grid services. We invite papers that reflect experience with practical applications of the current state of the art or that explore new application areas. We are particularly interested in large-scale, widely-deployed applications.

Consistent with the previous occurrences of this conference, we promote a collaboration in research between academic institutions, government organizations, and business enterprises that are concerned with the research and implementation of peer-to-peer networks, grids, and large scale distributed systems.

Topics ------

Any topic that relates to peer-to-peer systems, grids, and large-scale distributed systems or overlay networks is open for consideration. We would like to give special encouragement to reports of experience with applications, with particular emphasis on addressing deployment issues including scalability, robustness and security.

Some of the suggested topics are:

- P2P Applications and Services * P2P Storage and Content Distribution * P2P Databases and Warehouses - Security in P2P Systems * Authentication * Authorization * Key Management - Performance and robustness of P2P Systems * Replication * Result certification - Object Discovery and Information Retrieval in P2P Systems * Range queries and approximate queries * Hybrid P2P Systems - Self-organization and Stability of P2P Systems * Overlay performance in unstable states * Generalized types of churn - Trust Management in P2P Systems * Incentives * Reputation * Control - Overlay architectures and topologies * Random graphs and gossiping protocols * Hierarchic overlays * Interconnections and Federation of overlays * Topology-aware overlays * P2P over MANETS - P2P Economics * Business models * Incentive models and game theory - P2P Workload Characterization and Simulation

Papers will undergo a thorough peer review process before acceptance for presentation. We include all presented papers in the proceedings. The IEEE Proceedings hardcopy will be available at the Conference.
