P2P Data Management, Security and Trust (PDMST’04)

CALL FOR PAPERS

1st International Workshop on
"P2P Data Management, Security and Trust (PDMST'04) " 
in conjunction with the
14th International Conference on Database 
and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA'2004)
http://www.dexa.org/ 
30 August - 3 September 2004, Zaragoza, Spain 

       (Workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press) 
(Selected Papers will be considered for a Spcial Issue of an International 
Journal)


AIMS & SCOPE
Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing has emerged as a new paradigm for distributed 
computing due to its potential to harness the computing power of the 
heterogeneous hosts in the P2P network and efficiently making use of their 
under-utilized resources by sharing with others. P2P technologies require 
flexible, autonomous, secure and trusted resource sharing among dynamic peers. 
In this environment, research issues include resource discovery, replica 
allocation and consistency, data authentication, authorization, resource 
access, data security and trust. These issues have generated a lot of interest 
in academia as well as in industry. The aim of this workshop is to invite 
researchers from academia/industry working in the area of databases, 
distributed computing, security, trust, mobile agent systems to discuss the new 
significant potential problems which arise in P2P data management and are differ
 ent from the similar concepts studied earlier in different domains. The 
workshop will foc!
 us on high quality contributions on general theme of "Replication, Security 
and Trust in P2P Computing" in addition to the following list of topics: 

- P2P Computing Techniques and Architectures 
- Replication and Consistency Management in P2P Computing 
- Transaction Management and Recovery in P2P Systems
-  Data Streaming and Aggregation in P2P Computing
- Mobile Agents and Caching in P2P computing
- Semantic Web and P2P Computing
- Trusted Resource Discovery in P2P Networks
- Trust and Reputation Models for P2P Computing
- Data Authentication and Peer Authorization in P2P Computing
- Data Security in P2P Computing
- Ad-hoc Wireless Computing and P2P Systems
