MP2P'04: Deadline extended to Oct 10, 2003
CALL FOR PAPERS
1st International Workshop on Mobile Peer-to-Peer Computing (MP2P'04)
http://www.comp.polyu.edu.hk/~mp2p2004
In conjunction with the 2nd IEEE International Conference on
Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom04)
(http://www.percom.org/)
Orlando, Florida, USA, March 14 - 17, 2004
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. With the advance in mobile
wireless communication technology and the increasing number of mobile users,
P2P computing, in both academic research and industrial development, has
recently begun to extend its scope to address problems relevant to mobile
devices and wireless networks. The special characteristics of mobile
environments, such as highly variable connectivity, disconnection, location-
dependency, and energy and resource sensitivity, and the diversity in
wireless networks bring new challenges for research in mobile P2P computing.
MP2P04 is intended to serve as a 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 MP2P'04 is the development of protocols, systems and
applications for mobile P2P computing. Topics of particular interest include,
but are not limited to:
Architecture and platforms for mobile P2P computing
Routing protocols for mobile P2P computing
Resource and service discovery in mobile P2P computing
Peer access and control in mobile environment
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
Paper Submission:
