Call for Book Chapters

Title: Handbook of Peer-to-Peer Networking

Book Editors: Xuemin (Sherman) Shen, Heather Yu, John
Buford, and Mursalin Akon

Publisher: Springer


Introduction
The Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing model has already
been established as an important model for distributed
computing. In this computing model an extremely large
number of users collaborate and share their resources.
The traditional central server oriented service
distribution employs either client-server or push
models. However, this kind of services is neither
robust nor scalable, as well as suffers from a single
point of failure. In contrast, the P2P computing model
is characterized by collaboration among peers,
decentralized service points, self-organization,
autonomy, and heterogeneity. This emerging model for
service distribution has attracted a great attention
from both academia and industry. The introductions of
early P2P applications - Napster, Gnutella, KaZaA and
BitTorrent - were followed by a tremendous success
among the user communities. The initial success was
followed by other more interesting and complex
applications, such as in information store and
retrieval, teleconference, and audio-video streaming.
Concurrently, research communities are excited by the
potential future growth of the model.

This book focuses on the fundamentals of peer-to-peer
computing model, networks and applications along with
a comprehensive study of recent advancements. In
addition,   discussions on crucial design choices,
open problems, possible solution strategies will be of
great interest.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited
to, the following:
* Introduction to peer-to-peer computing
* Structured P2P Network Architectures
* Unstructured P2P Network Architectures
* Search and Replications, Queries and Pattern
Matching
* Incentive Mechanisms
* Trust and Reputation Management in P2P Networks
* Broadcast or Multicast Services
* QoS in P2P Networks
* Multimedia Streaming
* Availability of Shared Objects
* Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) using P2P
Networks
* Sharing non-Storage Computing Resources
* High Performance Computing with P2P
* Network and Locality Aware P2P Networks and
Applications
* P2P Databases
* High Volume Data Transmission in P2P Networks
* Mobile P2P
* Security in P2P Networks
* Anonymity in P2P Networks
* Fault Tolerance in P2P Networks
* Business Models and Applications in P2P
* P2P Traffic Characteristics
* Analytic Modeling of P2P Networks
* Social Networking using P2P Networks
* P2P Applications and Future Trends
* Real Life P2P System Development and Deployment
Experiences
* Other Topics in Advanced P2P Computing and
Networking
