CALL FOR PAPERS
"The Peer-to-Peer Paradigm" Minitrack
Part of the "Internet and the Digital Economy" Track
at the Thirty-eighth Annual
HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES
on the Big Island of Hawaii
January 3 - 6, 2005

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
