Background

Information dissemination is an important P2P application that has received 
considerable research attention in recent years. P2P information dissemination 
systems range from simple file sharing applications to more complex systems 
that allows users to securely and efficiently publish, organize, index, search, 
update and retrieve data in a distributed storage medium. For complex P2P 
information dissemination systems, there is a need for features which include 
security, anonymity, fairness, scalability, resource management, and 
organization capabilities. For effective information dissemination, following 
features of P2P systems and infrastructure need to be updated: distributed 
object location and routing mechanisms, novel approaches to content 
replication, caching and migration, encryption, authentication, access control, 
and resource trading and management schemes.

As P2P-based technologies play a more and more important role in the Internet, 
a number of new applications and services have been developed in the past few 
years, including file sharing, music downloading, live streaming, video on 
demand, and P2P-based game platform.  For these P2P systems, the key issues to 
be considered are scalability, robustness, reliability, and security. Moreover, 
today's networks are becoming increasingly more heterogeneous in terms of both 
network technologies and traffic, impacted by various factors including the 
wide deployment of wireless networks, diversification of multimedia formats, 
various requirements of different users, which brought many new challenges to 
P2P systems.

In this special issue, we solicit original work in areas of information 
dissemination and new services in P2P systems. In particular, we seek original 
work on networking protocols and algorithm design for information dissemination 
and on identifying new research and development challenges for new services in 
P2P systems. Original research papers from the research, development, and 
standardization communities are all welcome. Specific topics include, but are 
not limited to:

Ÿ  Networking protocols and algorithms for information dissemination
Ÿ  Security, scalability, and reliability in information dissemination
Ÿ  P2P architectures, overlay and management
Ÿ  Semantic P2P
Ÿ  Comparative performance analysis of P2P
Ÿ  Dependability, resilience, and availability of P2P systems
Ÿ  Benchmarking and optimization
Ÿ  Business models, economic models, charging mechanisms
Ÿ  Real-time streaming
Ÿ  Video on demand, P2P IPTV
Ÿ  P2P telephony, hybrid approaches
Ÿ  Quality of Service in P2Psystems
Ÿ  P2P and wireless convergence
Ÿ  Mobile P2P, P2P over wireless networks
Ÿ  P2P technology and sensors
Ÿ  Service-oriented P2P
Ÿ  P2P system analysis and design methodologies
Ÿ  P2P as target and enabler for management systems
Ÿ  Large scale P2P-based measuring and monitoring
Ÿ  Digital rights management of P2P
Ÿ  Regulatory issues of network operators and service providers
