=====================
SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
=====================

P2P'08 is the eighth conference in a series of annual conferences
concerned with overlay network technologies and massively distributed
systems & applications.

Peer-to-Peer systems benefit from and share the resources owned by
systems that are distributed around the Internet. Examples of such
technologies include peer-to-peer applications and grids, and in
general, any large-scale distributed system characterized by
decentralization and sharing of resources.

Recently, interesting applications of P2P technology have begun to
emerge, together with new platforms for application development. We
invite papers that reflect experience with practical applications of
the current state of the art, or that explore new application areas.
We are particularly interested in real, large-scale, deployed systems
and applications, rather than small-scale examples composed of a few
nodes. The key issues to be considered are scalability, robustness,
and security; we believe that these aspects are fundamental issues
that must be solved before Peer-to-Peer and Grid services will become
mainstream.

Consistent with the previous occurrences of this conference, we would
like to promote collaboration in research among academic institutions,
government organizations, and business enterprises that are concerned
with the research and implementation of peer-to-peer networks, grids,
and large scale distributed systems.
