* Papers: April 05, 2010
* Notification: May 31, 2010

Program Chairs:

* Ben Zhao, University of California, Santa Barbara

General Chairs:

* Henk Sips, TU Delft

Scope and Topics

The P2P'10 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 systems and applications, or that investigates real, deployed, large-scale peer-to-peer systems or applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following aspects of P2P computing:

* Overlay architectures and topologies
* Overlay interaction with underlying infrastructure
* Overlay monitoring and management
* Performance, robustness, and scalability
* Security, trust, and reputation
* Cooperation, incentives, and fairness
* Self-organization
* Information retrieval
* Query support
* Semantic overlay networks and semantic query routing
* Social networks
* P2P systems over mobile networks
* Deployed (commercial) systems and applications
* P2P economics
* P2P grids

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. 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 returned without review. Submitted papers should describe original and previously unpublished research and are not allowed to be simultaneously submitted or under review elsewhere.

All papers must be registered with the submission system by the abstract submission deadline. At least one author of every accepted paper must register to the conference not later than June 10, 2010, 12 PM (EST) and present the paper.

Demonstration submission guidelines

P2P'10 will also offer the opportunity for demonstrations of operational P2P
systems or applications that exhibit novel features. Proposals for demonstrations describing the system/application, its novel features, and the demonstration should be submitted through the conference submission system by the demonstration deadline. Demonstration proposals should be 2 pages in length.
