4th IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Peer-to-Peer Computing (MP2P'07) http://www-info3.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/mp2p2007 White Plains, NY, USA, March 26/30, 2007 In conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom07) http://www.percom.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing is a networking and distributed computing paradigm which allows the sharing of computing resources and services by direct, symmetric interaction between computers. The advance in mobile wireless communication technology and the increasing number of mobile users, extend the arena of P2P computing to encompass mobile devices and wireless networks. The special characteristics of mobile environments, such as highly variable connectivity, disconnection, location-dependency, resource constraints, and diversity in wireless networks as well as carrier-grade performance requirements bring new challenges for research in mobile P2P computing. Based on the success of its three predecessors, MP2P07 is intended to serve as a continuing forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of mobile P2P computing. It will address the challenges, technologies, and architectures leading to real-world solutions that provide users with direct access and control of their critical peer-based information and services, regardless of location or device. The principal theme of MP2P07 is the development of protocols, systems and architectures of mobile P2P architectures and the evaluation of their performance. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Architecture and platforms for mobile P2P computing - Measurement studies on mobile P2P systems - Performance of mobile P2P services - Resource and service discovery in mobile P2P computing - Resource exchange mechanisms in mobile P2P application - Multicast Protocols in mobile networks - Energy saving P2P protocols for mobile devices - Mobile P2P in wirelesss sensor networks - Security in mobile P2P networks - Mobile P2P over different kinds of bearer services: 2.5/3G (GPRS/UMTS) / 802.11 (WLAN) - Mobile P2P & operator/provider requirements - Reliability and carrier-gradeness of mobile P2P services - Mobile P2P SIP - Mobile P2P & fixed P2P system interworking - Issues of combining P2P services with mobility (mobile IP / MANET) - Peer access and control in mobile environment - Location dependent mobile P2P services - Data exchange and rendering techniques for mobile devices - Secure communication protocols for mobile P2P computing - Mobile P2P messaging systems - Peer-to-peer broadband wireless communications - Applications of mobile P2P - Nature-inspired algorithms for mobile P2P computing - Theoretical issues on mobile information diffusion - Mobile P2P video games - Stimulating cooperation in mobile computing - Middleware for Mobile P2P applications Paper Submission: ----------------- Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 5 pages in IEEE proceedings style. All submissions must describe original research, not published nor currently under review for another conference or journal. Authors MUST submit their papers through the PERDAS web site (http://www.percom.org/perdas) in three steps: * Creation of a personal account on PERDAS (if the author does not already have one) * Registration of the paper (requiring a short abstract of up to 150 words) * Upload of the paper. Only in pdf format Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. There is only one registration for the whole PerCom "convention", all workshops included. The only exception from the full-registration rule is: an author can register for her/his paper with a student registration if i) (s)he is a student AND ii) on of her/his co-authors has a full registration with PerCom. All submissions will be reviewed and selected based on their originality of the paper. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop and will appear in a combined PerCom 2007 workshop proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Authors that present a system in their paper are highly encouraged to demonstrate also the system in the demo session of the workshop.
