            at the Thirty-eighth Annual

This minitrack focuses on the analysis of potentials, challenges, recent
developments and current research issues applying to the Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) paradigm. The term Peer-to-Peer (P2P) refers to the concept that
in a network of equals (peers), two or more individuals are able to
collaborate spontaneously or share resources without necessarily needing
a central coordination. We invite contributions dealing with File
Sharing, Grid Computing, Collaboration, and Instant Messaging.
Furthermore we have a strong interest in papers regarding the economics
of P2P and the intersection of P2P, Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing.

The minitrack is interdisciplinary by nature. We invite contributions
from a broad spectrum including economics, information systems,
information management, and computer sciences in order to incorporate
the whole range of economic as well as technical aspects of P2P. We
would also like to involve practitioners whose experiences with business
applications of P2P could certainly enrich the discussions. The
minitrack focuses on but is not limited to the following topics:

- Economic analysis of P2P networks
- P2P business models
- P2P electronic business strategies
- P2P applications: file sharing, grid computing, instant messaging,
   collaboration
- Designing P2P information systems: system architectures, products,
   digital rights management
- Experiences with real-world implementations in various domains,
   i.e. knowledge and content management
- Coping with uncertainty: availability of resources and content
- Security and trust: identity management, authentication,
   accountability, reputation, reliability and attack resistance
- Payment and currency systems
- Metadata: describing the content, quality, condition and other
   appropriate characteristics of data
- Intelligent Agents in P2P Computing
- Adoption, integration and utilization of P2P systems by individuals
   and organizations including user behavior and system performance
- Policy and societal issues that need to be addressed and recognized
   as part of the adoption of P2P networking
- Knowledge sharing and communication in global, distributed networks
   of humans and computers including incentives and disincentives
   for sharing resources in P2P networks
- Management of resources and applications in a globally distributed
   environment
- Accounting and settlement mechanisms
- New theories of organizing and coordination in P2P environments
- The intersection of P2P, Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing: Working
   and living environments embedded with computing devices in a seamless,
   invisible way esp. for spontaneous interaction and machine-to-machine
   communication
