AP2PC 2006

Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing has attracted significant media attention, initially spurred by the popularity of file-sharing systems such as Napster, Gnutella, and Morpheus. More recently systems like BitTorrent and eDonkey have continued to sustain that attention. New techniques such as distributed hash-tables (DHTs), semantic routing, and Plaxton Meshes are being combined with traditional concepts such as Hypercubes, Trust Metrics, and caching techniques to pool together the untapped computing power at the “edges” of the Internet. These new techniques and possibilities have generated a lot of interest in many industrial organizations, and have resulted in the creation of a P2P working group on standardization in this area (http://www.irtf.org/charter?gtype=rg&group=p2prg). In P2P computing, peers and services forego central coordination and dynamically organize themselves to support knowledge sharing and collaboration,
