Workshop on 'resource discovery mechanisms for peer-to-peer systems', Pafos, Cyprus
Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing has emerged as a popular trend in distributed computing during the last few years. P2P enables the large-scale aggregation of resources which are geographically-distributed and belong to unrelated administrative domains. This style of computing is characterised by the presence of an equivalent set of nodes, peers, ability to self-organise and the sharing of a set of distributed resources within a network.
Despite the results obtained by many researchers on theoretical and application aspects, advancing in P2P still faces many challenges in such areas as terms of protocols, infrastructures, secure and efficient access, allocation of resources, fault tolerance, scalability, and performance.
This workshop will focus on new methods and algorithms to efficiently and effectively access data distributed over large-scale P2P overlay networks.For further information, please visit: http://hpc.isti.cnr.it/?page_id=356(opens in new window)
