AIMS AND TOPICS OF INTEREST:
In the last years Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing has emerged as a milestone in distributed computing. It enables large-scale aggregation of resources (e.g. files, applications, services, storage, processing cycles and services) geographically distributed and belonging to unrelated administrative domains. P2P computing is characterized by the presence of an equivalent set of nodes, peers, able to self-organize and to share a set of distributed resources within the network. Despite the results obtained by many researchers on theoretical and application aspects, the advancing in ICT poses many challenges in terms of protocols, infrastructures, secure and efficient access and allocation of resources, fault tolerance, scalability and performance. Particular interest has been expressed on resource discovery, in which an important aspect is the expressiveness in the selection criteria of resources. Being able to select in efficient way a set of resources that meet specific criteria is a requirement of many systems and applications such as Grid systems and online-gaming applications. This workshop will focus on new methods and algorithms to efficiently and effectively access data distributed over large-scale P2P overlay networks. The workshop particularly encourages papers that address these aspects as well as papers presenting novel architectural solution for these systems. However, more broadly, papers are solicited on any topic related to P2P computing, including the topics listed below.

• P2P for Grids, Clouds, and Datacenters
  
• Publishing, Searching and Query Processing
  
• Overlay Networks
  
• Self-organization
  
• Performance, robustness, and scalability
  
• Trust, Integration and Security
  
• Epidemic protocols and algorithms
  
• Mobile P2P computing
