Subject: [P2Prg] ICC 2008: Tutorial on "Peer-to-Peer Communications - Operational Aspects in Heterogeneous"

From: "Kellerer, Wolfgang" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:43:36 +0200

Please note the following tutorial to be held in conjunction with IEEE ICC 2008 on May 19, 2pm - 6pm in Beijing, China. 

It covers selected operational aspects of P2P overlays including firewall and NAT, managed overlays, distributed monitoring, traffic management and reputation management. This is a good opportunity to get a comprehensive overview over these important technologies in one event.

Registration can be made through the ICC website at http://www.ieee-icc.org/tutorials.html
Note: Today is the last day for getting the reduced registration fee!!

11. Summary

Absctract: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems can be regarded as decentralized and self organizing overlay architectures, independent of specific access networks. Self organization makes them robust and flexible to dynamic changes without provider interaction. Their main objective is to support lookup and use of distributed resources. P2P technologies have thus received an increasing interest in academia and also in industry in different application areas not only limited to file sharing but also in communication applications such as Skype. The potential of P2P is in the realization of novel applications (user generated content, community based services) and also in applying its principles to use existing resources in a more efficient way to save infrastructure cost. After a short introduction to P2P this tutorial goes beyond basic principles by presenting advanced issues regarding operational aspects targeting heterogeneous and mobile communication networks. In particular, we cover distributed monitoring and control of key P2P system characteristics such as network size and traffic distribution and their (cost-based) control. We further elaborate on P2P overlay cooperation related aspects such as trust and reputation management, incentives and security.
