                 ------- P2P2003 CALL FOR PAPERS -------

The Third IEEE International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing includes 
converging Overlay Networks (P2P, Grid, Clusters, etc.) and the Web Services 
that convey through them.

The Scope
---------
P2P2003 is the third Conference in a continuation of annual conferences 
concerned with the convergence of overlay network technologies that empower the 
leaf-nodes. These overlay networks are converging toward a common set of 
protocols due to their extensive implementations on the Internet and other 
shared environments.

These new protocols render the overlay networks functionally independent of the 
networks that they ride on. This has opened new security issues. Not only must 
we be concerned with the security within the overlay network, we must be 
concerned with the threats they may spawn toward the networks they ride on.

Consistent with our previous conferences we promote a collaboration in research 
between academic institutions, government organizations, and business 
enterprises that are concerned with the research and implementation of P2P, 
Grids, Clusters, and other overlay networks.


Topics
------
Any topic that relates to Overlay Networks and the Web Services that convey 
through them is open for consideration.

We would like to give special encouragement to research papers on security 
technology and policy issues for these Overlay Networks.

Some other suggested topics are:

* Overlay System Monitoring       * Agents 
* Accountability                  * Applications 
* Overlay Super Computers         * Middleware
* Wireless                        * Protocols  
* Collaboration                   * Supernodes 
* Overlay Architectures           * Network Management 
* e-Commerce

We include all presented papers in the proceedings. The IEEE Proceedings 
hardcopy will be available at the Conference.
