print friendly version workshop flyer Call for PapersPeer-to-Peer (P2P) architectures are intended to allow autonomous peers to interoperate in a decentralized, distributed manner for fulfilling individual and/or common goals. Peers have equivalent capabilities in providing other peers with data and/or services. Confederations of peers may be forged or broken opportunistically through the choices made by individual peers. The overall performance of a P2P network emerges from local point-to-point interactions of (all) peers on the network. The P2P paradigm in general offers a prospect of robustness, scalability and availability of large pool of storage and computational resources. The approach has been shown to be effective for basic but essential tasks such as file sharing. P2P, however, offers opportunities not addressed in existing architectures. They include the creation, maintenance, exchange, acquisition, and use of knowledge by peers. Because they are autonomous, peers can represent knowledge in a number of diverse forms, e.g. contexts, knowledge bases, files, databases, etc. In order to facilitate the interoperation, peers may agree on a shared conceptualization of a knowledge domain in the form of, for instance, ontology, and collectively maintain it over time. Apart from this, peers should be able to locate other peers, having required pieces of information and/or providing required services; agree on the meaning of the pieces of information (service delivery protocols) they want to exchange; and interoperate, based on the reached agreement, in a meaningful, purpose-driven way. The P2PKM workshop is intended to serve as an active forum for researchers and practitioners, where they will have the possibility to exchange and discuss novel ideas, research results and experiences, laying in the intersection of the P2P, Knowledge Management (KM), Semantic Web, databases, pervasive computing, agents, as well as other related fields. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:
Important Dates
Submission InstructionsWe invite the submission of high quality technical papers. The submitted papers should be formatted as close as possible to the Springer LNCS style and must not exceed 12 pages including figures and references. Interested authors should send their papers by email to Ilya Zaihrayeu at . PDF format is preferred, but other formats (PS, DOC) are also acceptable. Accepted papers will be published in the CEUR workshop electronic proceedings, and hardcopies of the proceedings will be handed out at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present their work. The authors of the best papers (dealing with issues related to semantics) will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper for a special issue of the LNCS Journal of Data Semantics.
