2nd EMANICS Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Management
April 27-28, 2009
University College London, United Kingdom
Sponsored by the EC IST-EMANICS Network of Excellence (#26854)


Scope
The workshop is bringing together researchers from two communities - the EMANICS FP6 NoE and the PeerLive UK EPSRC programmes - to exchange ideas in the area of peer-to-peer (P2P) management. This event follows the first successful workshop which was hosted by the University of Zurich in March 2008.
P2P networking concepts have been applied successfully in different areas of Internet-based communication, including P2P file sharing, P2P telephony, and P2P video streaming. P2P-based applications are known to scale well and to achieve a high robustness against failures. However, due to the absence of a central point of control, the management of P2P networks as well as the use of P2P principles for management remains a challenge.
This workshop will address the application of P2P concepts for network and service management, the management of P2P networks, as well as fully decentralized and distributed management approaches. The program will include presentations from both PeerLive and EMANICS members who are doing work in this area. EMANICS members will also present experiments they have performed on EmanicsLab, the research network of EMANICS.
Submission of Work
We invite PeerLive and Emanics participants, as well as people from other communities, to provide the title of the work they would like to present/discuss by Friday, 27 March 2009.
Registration
The workshop is open to the public. However, all participants are kindly asked to register for this workshop. Registration is free and the deadline is Wednesday, 15 April, 2009.
