The Fourth IEEE International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing
Use of Computers at the Edge of Networks (P2P, Grid, Clusters)
25-27 August 2004, Zurich, Switzerland
Communications Systems and Information Security Groups, ETH Zurich


The Scope

   P2P2004   is  the  fourth  Conference  in  a  continuation  of  annual
   conferences   concerned   with  the  convergence  of  overlay  network
   technologies  that  empower the leaf-nodes. These technologies include
   Peer-to-Peer,  Grids,  Clusters,  and  the Web Services that ride over
   them.  These  overlay  networks  are converging toward a common set of
   protocols  due  to their extensive implementations on the Internet and
   other shared environments.

   These   new   protocols   render  the  overlay  networks  functionally
   independent  of  the  networks  that they ride on. This has opened new
   security  issues.  Not  only  must  we  be concerned with the security
   within the overlay network, we must be concerned with the threats they
   may spawn toward the networks they ride on.

   Consistent with our previous conferences we promote a collaboration in
   research  between academic institutions, government organizations, and
   business   enterprises  that  are  concerned  with  the  research  and
   implementation of P2P, Grids, and Clusters.


Topics

   Any  topic  that  relates to Peer-to-Peer, Grids, and Clusters is open
   for  consideration.  We  would  like  to give special encouragement to
   research  papers  on  security  technology and policy issues for these
   overlay networks. Some of the suggested topics are:

                          Security in P2P Systems
                            Trust and Reputation
                               Accountability
                                Applications
                         Overlay System Monitoring
                                   Agents
                          Overlay Super Computers
                                 Middleware
                           Overlay Architectures
                             Network Management
                                  Wireless
                                 Protocols
                               Collaboration
                                 Supernodes
                                   Grids
                                  Clusters
                       Object Location and Retrieval
                              Storage Systems
                                 e-Commerce


   We   include  all  presented  papers  in  the  proceedings.  The  IEEE
   Proceedings hardcopy will be available at the Conference.
