Call for Papers
-------------------------------
The enduring digital insurrection has brought on the appearance of new network applications intended to speed up worldwide sharing of information. The applications have embraced the well-known peer-to-peer (P2P) technology in innovative ways, eternally altering the world of personal computing. P2P systemsâ?”an alternative to conventional clientâ?“server systemsâ?” mostly support applications that offer file sharing and content exchange like music, movies, etc. The concept has also been effectively employed for high performance computing, Internet-based telephony etc. The unanticipated growth in popularity of P2P systems has raised a number of significant problems. This situation has led academicians and industry people towards stupendous research in the field.

The objective of International Workshop on Advances in Peer-to-Peer Technology - IWAP2PTâ?™09 is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of P2P computing, and to provide an opportunity to share latest research results and thoughts on P2P systems and thereby uphold the research activities in this area.

IWAP2PTâ?™09 invites researchers to submit their original and unpublished work that demonstrates current research in all areas of P2P computing. All submissions will be thoroughly peer-reviewed by experts in the field based on originality, significance and clarity, only papers presenting novel research results or successful innovative applications are considered for publication in conference proceedings. The process is on for proceedings to be published in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Papers in IEEE format (.pdf file) must be submitted electronically through EDAS (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8041). The Camera-ready paper should be double-column, IEEE format, but in 10 pt font, and no longer than six pages (including all figures and references). Detailed instructions will be given after the accepted papers announcement.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

o Availability Management
o Digital rights management
o Fault Tolerance in P2P Systems
o Grid Computing and P2P grids
o Load Balancing Techniques
o Mobile P2P Networks and o Mobile data management
o Nature-inspired algorithms for P2P
