Important Dates:
* 25 October 2002 : Submission of position papers
* 20 December 2002 : Notification of Acceptance
* 15 January 2003 : Camera-ready copies
* 20-21 February 2002 : IPTPS'03
The 2nd International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems (IPTPS'03) aims
to provide a forum for researchers active in peer-to-peer computing to
discuss the state-of-the-art and to identify key research challenges
in peer-to-peer computing. IPTPS'03 hopes to continue and build on the
success of the first workshop, IPTPS'02.
The goal of the workshop is to examine peer-to-peer technologies,
applications and systems, and also to identify key research issues and
challenges that lie ahead. In the context of this workshop,
peer-to-peer systems are characterized as being decentralized,
self-organizing distributed systems, in which all or most
communication is symmetric. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
* peer-to-peer applications and services
* peer-to-peer systems and infrastructures
* peer-to-peer algorithms
* security in peer-to-peer systems
* robustness in peer-to-peer systems
* anonymity and anti-censorship
* performance of peer-to-peer systems
* workload characterization for peer-to-peer systems
The workshops aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in
the fields of systems, networking, and theory. The program of the
workshop will be a combination of invited talks, presentations of
position papers, and discussions. To ensure a productive workshop
environment, attendance will be limited to about 50 participants who
are active in the field. Each potential participant should submit a
position paper of 5 pages or less that exposes a new problem,
advocates a specific solution, or reports on actual
experience. Participants will be invited based on the originality,
technical merit and topical relevance of their submissions, as well as
the likelihood that the ideas expressed in their submissions will lead
to insightful technical discussions at the workshop. Please do not
submit abbreviated versions of journal or conference papers.
