SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES

The peer-to-peer (P2P) paradigm has emerged as a highly appealing solution for

scalable and high-throughput resource sharing among decentralized

computational entities. This is achieved by employing appropriate information

and communication systems without the necessity for central coordination.

The design, implementation, and analysis of P2P systems pose several

challenges, both with functional and non-functional properties, depending on

network size, churn rate and application context. This workshop has the goal

of providing an international forum for researchers and practitioners in all

P2P modeling and simulation areas, to present, discuss and exchange highly

innovative research results and advanced topics that mix theory and practice.

The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

* Formal Characterization of P2P Systems

* DEVS Modeling of P2P Systems

* Discrete Event Simulation of P2P Systems

* Agent-based Simulation of P2P Systems

* Novel Techniques for M&S of P2P Systems

* M&S-Based Development Methods Targeting P2P Systems

* P2P Overlay Schemes

* Advanced P2P Search Algorithms (Including Range, Wildcards, and

Multidimensional Search)

* Design and Analysis of P2P Applications and Services

* Analysis of Performance and Robustness of P2P Architectures

* P2P Workload Characterization and Simulation

* Analysis of Emergent Behaviors in P2P Systems

* Measurement and Discovery of Real-world P2P Topologies

* Evaluation of Consistency in P2P Systems

* Evaluation of Hybrid Systems (Client/Server Combined with P2P)

* Security in P2P Systems: Availability, Access Control, Integrity

* Countermeasures Against Free-Riding in P2P Networks

* Timing Violations for Multimedia and Other Real-Time Traffic in P2P Overlays

* Analysis of novel network services supporting P2P such as ALTO and LEDBAT

* Impact of P2P Traffic on the Network Infrastructure

* Green P2P Computing

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and

other topics related to Peer to Peer architectures and systems modeling and

simulation. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously

submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors'

names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and authors email

addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up

to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an ab-stract of no more than

400 words. The full manuscript should be at most 7 pages using the two-column

IEEE format. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Please include

page numbers on all pre-liminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers

to provide helpful comments. Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript via

email to the Workshop organizers at michele.amorettiunipr.it and

max.waltersiemens.com.

Only PDF files will be accepted. Each paper will receive a minimum of three

reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance,

technical clarity and presentation. Authors of accepted pa-pers must

guarantee that their papers will be registered and presented at the workshop.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings which will be

made available at the time of the meeting. Accepted papers will be given

guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with

the notification of acceptance.
