CALL FOR PAPERS
Foundations of Peer-to-Peer ComputingGuest EditorsProf. Javed I. Khan Kent State University

PUBLICATION: SUMMER 2007
Peer-to-peer computing has quite conspicuously emerged as one of the most innovation rich area in computer net-working. Millions of users now participate in these systems and the user bases are spreading like wild-fire. It is perhapsthe most significant development in computing since the web. What is interesting about P2P is that although it emergedout of user community but it is increasingly finding its base on rich foundation of computing.
Various aspects of peer-to-peer systems are now being modeled, formalized, and even engineered based on distributedhashing, complex search models, self-organization, complex networking, and graph theories. It has also become abreeding ground of technical innovations. Researchers are delving into new territories of overlay networking, replicationand caching, publish/subscribe routing, distributed multicast, range query, etc. It is also bringing in completely newdimension in the design of computing system research- social engineering.
The objective of this special issue of Computer Communications is to highlight recent innovative research results whichwill strengthen the formal foundation of this area. It this attempt, this paper invites papers from diverse P2P communi-ty ranging from practitioners, system builders, networking researchers, computing engineers, as well as social scientists.Authors from these divergent communities are encouraged to submit high-quality and original works. The reviewprocess of this special issue will be respectful to the difference in the scientific methodologies used by the communities.Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to the following:
P2P systems, practice & performance P2P overlay networks• Case study architectures • Publish/subscribe & event routing overlays• Performance analysis of existing systems • Multicast optimization• Distributed hashing, routing, advanced & special search • Multimedia and streaming overlays• Self-organization neighborhood optimization• Fault tolerance, stability, churning• Privacy and security
Social engineering Applications• Reputation and trust functions. • File sharing, distributed storage/caching, • Social engineering backup storage.• Virtual communities on P2P: socials study • News feed• Study of P2P virtual networks • P2P games, online auction.
• Multimedia streaming, distribution.• Anonymous systems
