---------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Peer-to-Peer Computing (MP2P'06)
http://www-info3.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/mp2p2006

Pisa, Italy, March 17, 2006

In conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive
Computing and Communications (PerCom’06) http://www.percom.org/
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing is a networking and distributed computing
paradigm which allows the sharing of computing resources and services by
direct, symmetric interaction between computers. The advance in mobile
wireless communication technology and the increasing number of mobile users,
extend the arena of P2P computing to encompass mobile devices and wireless
networks.  The special characteristics of mobile environments, such as
highly variable connectivity, disconnection, location-dependency, resource
contraints, and diversity in wireless networks as well as carrier-grade
performance requirements bring new challenges for research in mobile P2P
computing.

MP2P’06 is intended to serve as a continuing forum for scientists and
engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their
experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of mobile P2P
computing. 
It will address the challenges, technologies, and architectures leading to
real-world solutions that provide users with direct access and control of
their critical peer-based information and services, regardless of location
or device. The principal theme of MP2P’06 is the development of protocols,
systems and architectures of mobile P2P architectures and the evaluation of
their performance. 

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- Architecture and platforms for mobile P2P computing
- Measurement studies on mobile P2P systems
- Performance of mobile P2P services
- Resource and service discovery in mobile P2P computing
- Resource exchange mechanisms in mobile P2P application
- Mobile P2P over different kinds of bearer services: 2.5/3G (GPRS/UMTS) /
  802.11 (WLAN)
- Mobile P2P & operator/provider requirements
- Reliability and carrier-gradeness of mobile P2P services
- Mobile P2P & fixed P2P system interworking
- Issues of combining P2P services with mobility (mobile IP / MANET)
- Peer access and control in mobile environment
- Location dependent mobile P2P services
- Data exchange and rendering techniques for mobile devices
- Secure communication protocols for mobile P2P computing
- Mobile P2P messaging systems
- Peer-to-peer broadband wireless communications
- Applications of mobile P2P
- Nature-inspired algorithms for mobile P2P computing
- Theoretical issues on mobile information diffusion
- Mobile P2P video games
- Stimulating cooperation in mobile computing

Paper Submission: 
-----------------

Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in IEEE
proceedings style. Authors MUST submit their papers through the EDAS web
site (http://www.edas.info/) in three steps: 

* Creation of a personal account on EDAS (if the author does not already
have
  one)
* Registration of the paper (requiring a short abstract of up to 150 words)
* Upload of the paper. Only in pdf format 

Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and present the paper. All submissions will be reviewed and
selected based on their originality of the  paper. Accepted papers must be
presented at the workshop and will appear in a combined  PerCom 2006
workshop proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. 

Authors that present a system in their paper are highly encouraged to
demonstrate also the system in the demo session of the workshop.
