Call-for-Papers

IEEE Peer-to-Peer for Handheld Devices Workshop (IEEE P2P HD 2008)
http://cms.comsoc.org/CCNC_2008/Content/Home/Call_for_Papers_/P2P_HD_Workshop.html

Las Vegas, NV, USA, January 12, 2008

In conjunction with the Fifth IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (IEEE CCNC 2008) 
http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2008/

Submission deadline: 5 September 2007

Peer-to-Peer overlay networks have gained tremendous public attention during the recent years. Peer-to-peer (P2P) content  sharing systems have enabled Internet users to freely share digital content like music files, digital movies and pictures.  P2P content sharing is getting more and more popular, especially among the young people who have grown up in the Napster  era. However, such a spectacular success of the P2P systems would not have been possible without technological changes in  the ICT industry. Faster residential Internet connections, more powerful desktops, and cheaper storage have been the main  drivers stimulating the P2P growth. 

A similar technological change can also be observed in the mobile industry. The introduction of high-capacity 3G and WLAN  networks, more powerful handsets with larger memories and multimedia extensions provide good basis for the development of  peer-to-peer applications also in the mobile environment. 

IEEE P2P HD 2008 will bring together communications and software researchers, engineers and business leaders both from  academia and industry to discuss research results, new ideas, and their experiences in the area of mobile P2P communication.  The workshop will address challenges related to the deployment of P2P solutions for handheld devices such as mobile phones  and PDAs. 

The topics of particular interest include:

Mobile peer-to-peer SIP communication
Mobile peer-to-peer video streaming
Mobile peer-to-peer content sharing
Security aspects in mobile peer-to-peer applications
User experience studies of mobile peer-to-peer applications
Business aspects of peer-to-peer for handheld devices
Mobile peer-to-peer APIs
Location aware mobile peer-to-peer systems and applications
Mobile peer-to-peer messaging
Mobile peer-to-peer gaming
Measurement studies in mobile P2P networks
Social networks in the mobile environment
Charging of mobile peer-to-peer services
Persistent storage
Battery saving mechanisms in mobile P2P networks
Handling churn in mobile P2P networks
Nat/firewall traversal issues in mobile P2P networks
Architecture and platforms for mobile P2P computing
