Co-Located with Mobiquitous 2005
In cooperation with the Italian
FIRB "WebMINDS" Project
Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) systems are decentralized, self-organizing distributed systems
that cooperate to exchange data. These systems have emerged as the
dominant consumer of residential Internet subscribers' bandwidth, and
are being increasingly used in many different application domains. In
the last few years, research on P2P systems has been quite intensive,
and has produced remarkable results in scalability, robustness,
location, distributed storage, and system measurements. Consequently,
P2P systems continue to evolve, differentiating today's
state-of-the-art from earlier instantiations such as Napster, KaZaA,
Gnutella, and Morpheus.
Hot Topics in Peer-to-Peer Systems 2005 aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners, from both industry and academia, in the
fields of systems, networking, and theory, and to represent an occasion
to share latest research results and ideas on P2P systems, thereby
promoting research activities in this area. In addition to regular
research papers to be selected on standard peer review, the program of
the workshop will include invited talks, position papers, and panel
discussions.
