Call For Papers
Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems have emerged as an active research field that combines principles from networking, database, distributed computing, and information retrieval. Different from traditional client-server model, a host node in a P2P system can act as both a server and a client, which has significantly changed the way of online information sharing and distribution. P2P techniques bear the potential to realize information systems that scale to voluminous information on very large numbers of participating nodes, while facing many fundamental research challenges for information management.
This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working on P2P information systems from different disciplines. We invite papers that facilitate better understanding of challenges of P2P information management, apply ideas and techniques from different aspects, and propose innovative solutions to those challenges. Papers reporting original research, applications, development of prototypes, industrial experiences, technologies and standards are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- P2P Applications and Services
- P2P Information Systems and Architectures
- Models and Query Languages for P2P Information Systems
- P2P Information Search Techniques
- Indexing, Caching and Replication Techniques for P2P systems
- Metadata for P2P Information Management
- P2P Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
- Adaptive P2P Information Systems
- Mobile P2P Information Retrieval
- P2P Multimedia Information Management
- P2P Content Delivery
- Security and Robustness in P2P Information Systems
- Inter-operability Issues in Heterogeneous P2P Information Systems
- Dynamics of P2P
Papers describing ongoing or completed research and development efforts are sought. Submissions must not exceed 8 pages and the paper must follow IEEE conference format. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Interested authors should electronically submit a PDF file or a Postscript file of the paper through COCUS System. Please refer to submission guidelines for details.
