Scope of the workshop

The algorithms and methods of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology

are often applied to networks and services with a high

demand for scalability. The huge number of peers, the state

space, as well as the interactions and relationships between

peers and states often makes an analytical description

intractable. Discrete event simulation is a tool which is

able to incorporate all interactions and parameters and may

reflect reality as accurately as possible. Large scale

simulations, however, also require sufficient memory

capacities and often exceed the available computational

power: it might already be a problem just to keep the states

of the peers in the main memory.

The 6th International Workshop on Modeling, Simulation, and

Optimization of Peer-to-peer environments (MSOP2P) aims at

bringing together researchers and practitioners from

academia, industry and government to advance the state of

the art in modeling, simulating and optimizing P2P

environments. The workshop also offers the opportunity to

discuss different techniques to make P2P simulations

scalable, to debate the advantages and disadvantages of a

simulation on packet level or on application level, and to

compare analytical models as well as emulations to results

gained by simulation. The general venue will be a good

occasion to share, to learn, and to discuss the latest

results in this field of research.

Important Dates

Deadline for paper submission: July 25, 2011

Acceptance notification: October 10, 2011

Camera ready paper due: November 11, 2011

Conference: February 15-17th, 2012

Paper Submission

Papers can be submitted through the EasyChair conference

submission system

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2012 with an

indication of the name of the Special Session MSOP2P. Papers

will undergo a double blind peer review process. Prospective

authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 5000 words

in length and including a 150-200 word abstract. To

facilitate an anonymous reviewing process, the first page of

the paper should contain only the title and abstract.

Moreover, the names of the authors of the paper must not

appear in citations in the reference section. All accepted

papers will be included in the same volume, published by the

IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services

(CPS). The Final Paper Preparation and Submission

Instructions will be published after the notification of

acceptance.
