P2P 2007
7th IEEE International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing
"Distributed computing at the edge of the Internet"

Galway, Ireland
September 2-5, 2007

======================================================================

P2P2007 is the seventh in a series of annual conferences concerned
with overlay network technologies. Overlay networks combine and share
the resources owned by devices that are distributed at the edge of the
Internet, which are normally relegated to the role of clients. The key
issues to be considered are scalability, robustness, and security
which must be solved before (legal) peer-to-peer services will become
mainstream. Consistent with the previous occurrences of this
conference, P2P2007 promotes the collaboration in research among
academic institutions, government organizations, and enterprises that
are concerned with the research and implementation of peer-to-peer
networks and large scale distributed systems.

P2P2007 includes three keynote speeches, two tutorials, 26 regular
papers (acceptance rate 19%), 6 short papers, and 5 demonstration
papers. The conference preliminary program is provided below (also
available at http://www.p2p2007.org).

P2P2007 Program Highlights:

Three renowned world-class areas leaders will provide keynote talks:
(1) Timothy Roscoe, ETH Zurich. P2P and the Internet Architecture: Possible Futures
(2) Karl Aberer, EPFL. Peer-to-Peer Information Retrieval
(3) Wolfgang Kellerer, NTT DoCoMo Euro-Labs.
The Bright Future of P2P: a Telecom Operator's Perspective
