4th International Workshop MSOP2P


CALL FOR PAPERS

4th International Workshop on Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Peer-to-peer Environments 

In conjunction with Euromicro PDP 2010, Pisa, Italy, February 17-19, 2010

Last Paper Submission Deadline: August 3, 2009

Scope of the International Workshop

The algorithms and methods of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology are often applied to networks and services with a high demand for scalability. The huge number of peers, the state space, as well as the interactions and relationships between peers and states often makes an analytical description intractable. Discrete event simulation is a tool which is able to incorporate all interactions and parameters and may reflect reality as accurately as possible. Large scale simulations, however, also require sufficient memory capacities and often exceed the available computational power. It might already be a problem just to keep the states of the peers in the main memory.

The 4th International Workshop on Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Peer-to-peer environments (MSOP2P 2010) aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to advance the state of the art in modeling, simulating and optimizing P2P environments. The workshop also offers the opportunity to discuss different techniques to make P2P simulations scalable, to debate the advantages and disadvantages of a simulation on packet level or on application level, and to compare analytical models as well as emulations to results gained by simulation. The general venue will be a good occasion to share, to learn, and to discuss the latest results in this field of research.

Topics

* Modeling of P2P systems
* Simulation of P2P systems
* Emulation of P2P systems

* Design of P2P environment
* Protocols for P2P environments
* Protocols for resource management/discovery/reservation/scheduling
* Traffic management for P2P computing systems
* Algorithms for computing and performance evaluation in P2P environments
* Quantitative analysis of Peer-to-Peer infrastructure and overlay networks
* Workload characterization for P2P systems
* Auto organization in Peer to peer systems.

Important Dates

Paper submission deadline: August 3, 2009
Notification of acceptance: October 5, 2009
Camera ready papers due: October 30, 2009
Conference: February 17-19, 2010

Submission Details:

Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 5000 words in length and including a 150-200 word abstract. To facilitate an anonymous reviewing process, the first page of the paper should contain only the title and abstract. Proceedings will be published by Conference Publishing Service (CPS). Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present the paper at the Conference.
Papers submitted for the workshops or special sessions must be submitted through the conference submission system with an indication of the name of the workshop/special session. Papers must adhere to the formatting rules of the conference and will undergo the same review process as other papers submitted to the conference. Paper submission : http://www.pdp2010.org/
