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:

Many thanks,

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:

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
