**********************************************************************
Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems have emerged as an active research field that 
combines principles from networking, database, distributed computing, and 
information retrieval. Different from traditional client-server model, a 
host node in a P2P system can act as both a server and a client, which has 
significantly changed the way of online information sharing and distribution. 
P2P techniques bear the potential to realize information systems that scale 
to voluminous information on very large numbers of participating nodes, 
while facing many fundamental research challenges for information management.
This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working 
on P2P information systems from different disciplines. We invite papers that 
facilitate better understanding of challenges of P2P information management, 
apply ideas and techniques from different aspects, and propose innovative 
solutions to those challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited 
to:

 *  P2P Applications and Services
 *  P2P Information Systems and Architectures
 *  Models and Query Languages for P2P Information Systems
 *  P2P Information Search Techniques
 *  Indexing, Caching and Replication Techniques for P2P Systems
 *  Metadata for P2P Information Management
 *  P2P Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
 *  Adaptive P2P Information Systems
 *  Mobile P2P Information Retrieval
 *  P2P Multimedia Information Management
 *  P2P Content Delivery
 *  Security and Robustness in P2P Information Systems
 *  Inter-operability Issues in Heterogeneous P2P Information Systems
 *  Dynamics of P2P

Submission:
Original and previously unpublished technical papers are solicited. Papers 
reporting original research, applications, development of prototypes, 
industrial experiences, technologies and standards are welcome. 
Submissions must not exceed 8 pages in IEEE conference paper format 
(including references, figures and tables). All submissions should be submitted 
electronically in Postscript or Adobe PDF format through the COCUS web site. 
Detailed information can be found in the workshop website (www.p2p-im.org).
All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by experts and returned to the 
author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of the accepted papers. The 
authors of accepted papers must present their papers at the workshop. At least 
one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the workshop in order 
for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. 

Publication: 
The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. The 
conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Press and available online
through IEEE Xplore.
