• NEW: Special Issue on Collaborative Peer-to-Peer Systems (Elsevier Computer Networks Journal)

The workshop aims to become a small, high quality and interactive meeting for novel P2P ideas and proposals. On the one hand, Collaborative P2P systems aim to benefit from the huge amount of unused resources of desktop computers (content, data storage, cpu, bandwidth) to create the next generation of Internet Infrastructures. On the other hand, P2P is particularly challenging for developing collaborative information systems. In this line, P2P can be used to create social networks and communities, to discover users and information, to aggregate community contents or even as a communication medium for large groups.

The COPS'09 workshop is at its fifth edition and aims to discuss new research ideas and applications in the young area of P2P. We encourage people to present and discuss their results to contribute to the development of a technology and of a shared vision of the field.
