Hello, Many on this mailing list are familiar with IPTPS. I also know that there are some cool projects you are building related to P2P. Please consider submitting your work as a research paper to IPTPS. The Call for Papers can be found below, or here: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/iptps2008
Many thanks, --Stefan The 7th International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems (IPTPS '08) provides a forum for researchers to engage in a lively discussion of current and future trends in peer-to-peer systems, broadly defined. The workshop, to be held in Tampa Bay, Florida, provides a venue to present and discuss peer-to-peer technologies, applications, and systems, and to identify key research issues and challenges that lie ahead. IPTPS 2008's website is at: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/iptps2008 In the context of this year's workshop, peer-to-peer systems are defined to be systems that enable sharing and cooperation among ordinary users whether the underlying technology is decentralized or not. As a venue for exploring new directions, IPTPS takes the broad view that peer-to-peer systems are systems that enable mass collaboration, including but not limited to Internet systems, Web-based systems, overlay networks, online games, mobile systems, and online social networks. We encourage submissions of early work, with novel and interesting ideas. We expect that work introduced at IPTPS 2008, once fully thought through, completed, and described in a finished form, may be relevant to conferences such as NSDI, OSDI, SOSP, Sigcomm, Sigmetrics, Usenix, Sigmod, VLDB, Mobisys, Mobicom, PODC, or SPAA. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Networks and systems support for peer-to-peer systems * New applications and protocols for peer-to-peer systems * Availability, robustness, performance, and scaling * Security, privacy, anonymity, and anti-censorship * Attack resistance, policy enforcement, and participation incentives * Lessons drawn from experience with deployed peer-to-peer systems Papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of spawning insightful discussion and technical merit. The program will include presentations of position papers along with plenty of time for lively discussion among the participants. To ensure a productive workshop environment, attendance at IPTPS will be limited to 60 participants. Invitations to attend the workshop will be extended according to the following priorities: * the Program and Steering Committees, one author per paper, and any speakers invited by the Program Committee * co-authors of accepted and submitted papers * event-sponsor representatives and additional authors of submitted papers at the discretion of the Program Committee Deadlines Submissions due: November 2, 2007 (11:59 EST). No extensions will be granted. Notification of acceptance: January 11, 2008 Camera-ready copy due: January 25, 2008 Workshop: February 25-26, 2008 _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
