CALL FOR PAPERS: Peer-to-Peer Infrastructures and Applications in the Software Technology Track at the Thirty-eighth Annual HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES on the Big Island of Hawaii January 3 - 6, 2005

The purpose of this one-day mini-track is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss software technology issues related to peer-to-peer (P2P) computing and its evolving paradigm. P2P is an emerging, 21st century technology whose applications from the onset have exhibited both its power and diversity. While examples of applications abound, because of the youthfulness of P2P these applications more often than not run on non-interoperable infrastructures. As a consequence others have seen a need for infrastructure and protocol standards. The Project JXTA open source community, and the research branch of the IETF, the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) Research Group on P2P are two salient examples. Finally, the research community has taken it upon itself to put in place a solid theoretical foundation of P2P computing by addressing issues like routing, trust, security, content distribution, P2P platform performance, lookup, search, computational grids based on P2P platforms, etc.

The above efforts are yielding a common paradigm for Peer-to-Peer computing. It is a model for programming distributed systems that is characterized by an increasing decentralization, autonomy and, if desired, anonymity of its Peer components, where they can play the roles of both clients and servers, thus requiring new approaches and patterns for distributed computing. It necessitates a natural evolution or mapping of the Internet protocols that then must also be characterized by the p2p requirements of participating nodes. While industry as a whole is hard at work trying to impose tomorrows legacy architecturesby the means of so called Web Services, Peer-to-Peer computing goes one step further and postulates that although there will always be a need for centralization in the client-server sense, the general model that should prevail is again one where roles are not clear cut but dynamic. Peers are thus actors that appear and disappear dynamically, hence pushing back and forth the edges of the network, potentially endorsing all possible roles at any point in time. In this context, hard-wired centralized services are only one among many interaction patterns that can be achieved in Peer-to-Peer architectures that more closely capture the features of a real world, distributed computing eco-system.

Similarly, the Semantic Web initiative by the W3C also builds on this departure from centralized architectures and places the debate at the level of ontologies and semantics. We may expect web services to occur and interoperate in Peer-to-Peer architectures. In this context, the paradigm shift appears to lie in the convergence of several technologies such as Peer-to-Peer frameworks, Mobile Agents, Digital Rights Management / Digital Policy Management, trust computing, cognitive or knowledge agents and ontologies.

In the above context, contributions of interest will be those that describe novel business interactions and user coordination models, applications supporting the peer-to-peer paradigm, and research that both pushes the frontiers of the applications, infrastructures and protocols as well as verifies their limits with respect to performance and scalability. Thus we envisage an interdisciplinary forum that brings together researchers, practitioners from industry, and members of open source communities to discuss and evaluate the technology aspect as well as the interplay between technological capabilities and new emerging forms of commercial electronic interaction. Topics related to the emerging P2P paradigm include, but are not limited to, the following:

- P2P system architectures and protocols
- P2P overlay networks
- P2P services
- Security
- Trust and reputation
- Mobile objects (Agents)
- Wireless infrastructures
- Semantic and discovery services
- Rights and policy languages
- Digital rights management and policy management (DRM/DPM)
- Self-organizing information systems
- Multi-agent systems
- Electronic communities and marketplaces
- Monitoring, metering and auditing
- Digital asset management and trading
