Co-located with Third International Conference on Internet Multimedia Systems Architecture and Applications (IMSAA-09) (http://www.imsaa.org) Technically sponsored by IEEE COMSOC Bangalore Chapter Dates: 9-11 December 2009, Bangalore, India Call for Papers The enduring digital insurrection has brought on the appearance of new network applications intended to speed up worldwide sharing of information. The applications have embraced the well-known peer-to-peer (P2P) technology in innovative ways, eternally altering the world of personal computing. P2P systems—an alternative to conventional client–server systems— mostly support applications that offer file sharing and content exchange like music, movies, etc. The concept has also been effectively employed for high performance computing, Internet-based telephony etc. The unanticipated growth in popularity of P2P systems has raised a number of significant problems. This situation has led academicians and industry people towards stupendous research in the field. The objective of International Workshop on Advances in Peer-to-Peer Technology - IWAP2PT’09 is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of P2P computing, and to provide an opportunity to share latest research results and thoughts on P2P systems and thereby uphold the research activities in this area. IWAP2PT’09 invites researchers to submit their original and unpublished work that demonstrates current research in all areas of P2P computing. All submissions will be thoroughly peer-reviewed by experts in the field based on originality, significance and clarity, only papers presenting novel research results or successful innovative applications are considered for publication in conference proceedings. All the accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore. Papers in IEEE format (.pdf file) must be submitted electronically through EDAS (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8041). The Camera-ready paper should be double-column, IEEE format, but in 10 pt font, and no longer than six pages (including all figures and references). Detailed instructions will be given after the accepted papers announcement. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: o Availability Management o Digital rights management o Fault Tolerance in P2P Systems o Grid Computing and P2P grids o Load Balancing Techniques o Mobile P2P Networks and o Mobile data management o Nature-inspired algorithms for P2P o Novel Architecture of P2P Systems o P2P and Autonomic Computing o P2P and Collaborative Learning o P2P applications and services o P2P measurements and control o P2P mobile sensors networks o P2P Resource Management o P2P services and Cloud computing o P2P Economics o P2P Live Streaming o Privacy in P2P Systems o Quality of Service and Quality of Experience o Resource Discovery in P2P Systems o Social Networks o Solutions for Free Riding and Partial Coverage in P2P o Trust and Reputation Management in P2P Systems o Video on Demand P2P File Sharing --------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates Paper submission: September 10, 2009 Notification of acceptance: October 15, 2009 Camera-ready version: October 30, 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Chairs -------------------------------------------------------------------- General Chairs Sajid Hussain, Acadia University, Canada K.
