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 devices that are
distributed around the Internet, which are normally relegated to
the role of clients. Examples of such technologies 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. We invite
papers that reflect experience with practical applications of the
current state of the art, or that explore new application areas.
We are interested in real, large-scale, deployed applications particularly,
rather than "toy" examples composed of few nodes. The
key issues to be considered are scalability, robustness, and security;
we believe that these aspects are fundamental issues that must be
solved before (legal) peer-to-peer and grid services will become
mainstream.
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 to those that treat
problems
related to scalability, robustness and security:
