Scope

Research on peer-to-peer systems is rapidly growing, with current focuses on infrastructure services such as routing and searching. The ultimate success of a peer-to-peer system rests on the three pillars of scalable and robust system design, useful applications and alignment of economic interests among participating peers.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss the application deployment of P2P systems, application of economic theories to P2P system design, and future directions and challenges in this area.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)

Security for p2p applications
Supporting underlays for overlay applications
Deployed application experience
Performance of p2p applications
Monitoring and administration of large p2p systems
DHT in the small, e.g., in corporate environment
Distributed multi-user internet games
The Application Interface of DHT
Interconnection of P2P networks
Incentives and disincentives for cooperation
Network externalities and scale economies
Accounting and settlement mechanisms
Payment and currency systems
User behavior and system performance
Economic impact to network providers

The program of the workshop will be a combination of invited talks, paper presentations, and panel discussion.
