P2P 2012 - 2012 IEEE Twelfth International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing (P2P)

The P2P conference solicits papers on all aspects of peer-to-peer computing. Of particular interest is research that furthers the state-of-the-art in the design and analysis of peer-to-peer applications and systems, or that investigates real, deployed, large-scale peer-to-peer applications or systems. The applications can range from the traditional peer-to-peer application of file sharing to more novel applications such as media streaming and intelligence sharing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following aspects of P2P computing:
Information retrieval and query support
P2P for cloud computing
Semantic overlay networks and semantic query routing
P2P for grids, clouds, and datacenters
Deployed (commercial) applications and systems
Security, trust, and reputatio
Cooperation, incentives, and fairness
P2P economics
Social networks
Overlay architectures and topologies
Overlay interaction with underlying infrastructure
Overlay monitoring and management
Self-organization
P2P applications and systems over mobile networks
Measurements and modeling of P2P systems
Performance, robustness, and scalability
Paper submission guidelines
Papers can be submitted either as full papers or as short papers in the IEEE single-spaced two-column format using at least 10 point font size. Full papers should not exceed 10 pages and short papers should not exceed 4 pages. Please note that short papers also need evaluation results or analysis to corroborate the claims of the paper and that a paper longer than 4 pages is treated as a full paper. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through the paper-submission website linked from the conference website. IEEE templates for LaTeX and Microsoft Word, as well as related information, can be found at the IEEE Digital Toolbox webpage. The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Communications Society.
All submissions will be evaluated using a double-blind review process. To ensure blind reviewing, papers should be anonymized by removing author names and affiliations, as well as by masking any information about projects and bibliographic references, etc. that might reveal the authors' identities. Papers that are not properly anonymized will be rejected without review. Submitted papers should describe original and previously unpublished research and are not allowed to be simultaneously submitted or under review elsewhere.
