CALL FOR PAPERS
Future Generation Computer Systems The International Journal of Grid Computing and eScience Special Issue on “Resource Discovery Mechanisms for P2P Systems” http://www.elsevier.com/locate/fgcs Scope 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. Despite the results obtained by many researchers, 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 important aspects are expressiveness and effectiveness of the resource selection criteria. Being able to select in efficient way a set of resources that meets specific criteria is a requirement of many systems and applications such as Cloud systems and online-gaming applications. This special issue will focus on new methods and algorithms to efficiently and effectively access data distributed over large-scale P2P overlay networks. Papers in the following topics (non-exhaustively) are welcome. P2P solutions for Clouds, Datacenters and Grids Publishing, Searching and Query Processing in P2P networks Routing and fault-tolerance in P2P systems P2P Overlays P2P economics Epidemic protocols and algorithms for P2P Networks P2P applications and systems in mobile environments Performance, robustness, and scalability Guest Editors: Dr. Laura Ricci Department of Computer Science University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy Email: ricci@di.unipi.it Dr. Ranieri Baraglia Italian National Research Council Information Science and Technology Institute Pisa, Italy Email: ranieri.baraglia@isti.cnr.it Important Dates: Paper submission: January, 15, 2012 Acceptance notification: April, 15, 2012 Final papers: May, 30, 2012 Publication: Late 2012 Submission Guidelines: All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the Elsevier Editorial System (EES). The authors must select “P2P‐RDM” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. The EES website is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/fgcs/ Submission Format: The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505611/authorinstructions. |
