Subject: Workshop on Economics of P2P Systems -- Final Call for Papers
*** Please note extended deadline ***
Workshop on Economics of Peer-to-Peer Systems
Berkeley, California
June 5-6 2003
http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/p2pecon
>From file-sharing to distributed computation, from application layer
overlays to mobile ad hoc networking, the ultimate success of a
peer-to-peer system rests on the twin pillars of scalable and robust
system design and alignment of economic interests among the
participating peers. The Workshop on Economics of Peer-to-Peer
Systems will bring together for the first time researchers and
practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss the economic
characteristics of P2P systems, application of economic theories to
P2P system design, and future directions and challenges in this area.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- incentives and disincentives for cooperation
- distributed algorithmic mechanism design
- reputation and trust
- reliability, identity, and attack resistance
- network externalities and scale economies
- public goods and club formation
- accounting and settlement mechanisms
- payment and currency systems
- user behavior and system performance
- measurement studies
- leveraging heterogeneity without compromising anonymity
- economic impact to network providers
- interconnection of P2P networks
The program of the workshop will be a combination of invited talks,
paper presentations, and discussion. Workshop attendance will be
limited to ensure a productive environment. Each potential
participant should submit a position paper that expresses a novel or
interesting problem, offers a specific solution, reports on actual
experience, or advances a research agenda. Participants will be invited
based on the originality, technical merit and topical relevance of
their submissions, as well as the likelihood that the ideas expressed
in their submissions will lead to insightful discussions at the
workshop. Accepted papers will be published on the workshop website.
Submission guidelines:
Submissions of position papers are due April 1, 2003, and should not
exceed 5 pages. Two column papers are acceptable, but the font size
should be no smaller than 11pt. Papers must be submitted electronically
in postscript or PDF format to <p2pecon@sims.berkeley.edu>.
