Peer-to-peer
computing has quite conspicuously emerged as one of the most
innovation
rich
areas in computer networking. Millions of users now participate in
these
systems
and the user bases are spreading like wild-fire. It is perhaps the most
significant development in computing since the web. What is interesting
about
P2P is that although it emerged out 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 distributed hashing, complex search models,
self-organization,
complex networking, and graph theories. It has also become a breeding
ground of
technical innovations. Researchers are delving into new territories of
overlay
networking, replication and caching, publish/subscribe routing,
distributed
multicast, range query, etc. It is also bringing in completely new
dimension in
the design of computing system research- social engineering.
The
objective of this special issue of the Journal of Computer
& Communication is to highlight recent innovative
research results
which will
strengthen the formal foundation
of this area. It this attempt, this
paper invites
papers from diverse P2P community 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 review process 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
- Case
study architectures
- Performance
analysis of existing systems
- Distributed
hashing, routing, advanced &
special search
- Self-organization
neighborhood optimization
- Fault
tolerance, stability, churning
