Peer to Peer Networking and Applications (ISI indexed) ～Special Issue Call for Papers～ Peer-to-Peer as an infrastructure service Jiangchuan Liu Ke Xu Simon Fraser University Tsinghua Univercity [email protected] [email protected] Yongqiang Xiong Dongchao Ma Microsoft Research Asia North China University of Technology [email protected] [email protected] Kai Shuang Beijing University of Post and Telecommunications [email protected] Peer-to-peer (P2P) communication has attracted significant interest from both academia and industry, and has become a successful communication paradigm for diverse Internet applications, including file sharing, live streaming, and video on demand. Today P2P applications account for over 70% of the Internet traffic, and the percentage is still growing. P2P has also been used to facilitate the development of such new generation of applications as social networking and cloud computing. Many of these systems use P2P as an underlying engine to boost their performance and to reduce the deployment costs. Examples include the Amazon EC2 cloud platform that opens a dedicated interface for BitTorrent, and LeafWeb P2P gaming platform that allows users to invite others form their Facebook profiles to play online games. Yet there remain a number of challenges for P2P to be a fundamental infrastructure service for pervasive Internet applications: It is necessary to deal with peer churns to provide stable and robust quality-of-service; the inventiveness of individual users and that of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have to be carefully addressed for incorporating a P2P engine; and security issues have been brought to the front end as substantial P2P based attacks, viruses and botnets appear. These problems can be even more severe with the emerging new applications. The objective of this special issue is to summarize the recent research and development toward making P2P a better infrastructure service. The topics of interest for the special issue include, but are not limited to: l P2P system modeling, simulation, and measurement l P2P incentive mechanism l Interaction between P2P and ISP l Security Issues of P2P systems l P2P with new generation of applications, e.g., social networking, cloud computing Paper submission Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality, original work that has neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by other journals.
