Workshop Theme

The workshop aims to become a small, high quality and interactive meeting for novel P2P ideas and proposals. P2P technologies are just beginning to change the way people and computers interact in the Internet. P2P applications like file sharing, distributed computing or VoIP have already atracted millions of users. Furthermore, P2P paradigm makes a huge influence in video-on-demand and multimedia streaming, distributed storage,applications for mobile devices, Internet infrastructures and social networks among others.

P2P Systems are popular because of the many benefits that they offer: adaptation, self-organization, fault tolerance and massively distribution and replication of large amount of resources. 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'08 workshop is at its fourth 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.
