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 communication and computing. MP2P'09 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 and communications. 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'09 is the peer-to-peer paradigm as used in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETS), sensor networks, and large-scale heterogeneous overlays. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Peer-to-peer overlays for MANETs and sensor networks - Hybrid P2P architectures for integrated MANETs and wide-area networks - Large-scale heterogeneous P2P systems - Mobility in federated overlay architectures - Impact of network mobility on P2P systems and services (mobile IP / MANET) - P2P-based information sensing and fusion - MP2P performance & measurement studies - Semantic routing & overlay routing in MP2P - Delay tolerant MP2P systems - Resource and service discovery in MP2P - Resource exchange mechanisms in MP2P - Peer access and control in mobile environment - Data exchange and rendering techniques for mobile P2P devices - Secure communication protocols for MP2P - Nature-inspired algorithms for MP2P - Novel MP2P applications & services - Theoretical issues on mobile information diffusion - MP2P SIP - MP2P messaging systems, monitoring systems, searching systems, games, etc. - Location dependent MP2P services - MP2P over different bearer services: 2.5/3G (GPRS/UMTS) / 802.11 (WLAN) - MP2P & operator/provider requirements - Reliability and carrier-grade performance of MP2P services Paper Submission: ----------------- Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 5 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors MUST submit their papers through the EASYCHAIR web site ( http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mp2p09 ) in three steps: * Creation of a personal account on EASYCHAIR (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 2009 workshop proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Paper must not be submitted elsewhere. Authors that present a system in their paper are highly encouraged to demonstrate also the system in the demo session of the workshop.

Concepts and Performance Aspects http://www.itcspecialistseminar.com/itcss20/ 18.-20. Mai 2009 Swiss-Belhotel Golden Sand Resort, Hoi An, Viet Nam ********************************************************************************** AIMS AND TOPICS Network virtualization is the technology that allows the simultaneous operation of multiple logical networks (also known as overlays) on a single physical platform. Network virtualization permits distributed participants to create almost instantly their own network with application-specific naming, routing, and resource management mechanisms. For instance, server virtualization enables users to use parts of a computing center as their own personal computer. Recently, network virtualization received tremendous attention since it is expected to be one of the major paradigms for the future Internet as proposed by numerous international initiatives on future networks, e.g. PlanetLab (USA, International), GENI (USA), AKARI (JAPAN), OneLab2 (Europe), and G-Lab (Germany). A major objective of this ITC Specialist Seminar is to early identify future performance issues and to provide methodologies and mechanisms to address the various performance problems in network virtualization. The seminar is intended as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their latest experiences and research results. It will address techniques, architectures, performance models, and performance engineering methods leading to real world network virtualization solutions that provide users with efficient techniques for creating and operating their own high performance virtual network. Topics of interest are amongst others, but not limited to: o Performance issues of virtualization techniques on routers and end hosts o Performance issues of bandwidth and resource virtualization techniques o Performance issues of overlays for future network architectures o Performance of virtualized transport mechanisms o Performance of virtualized services and virtualized applications o Virtual test labs and network federation IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: December 15, 2008 Acceptance notification: January 31, 2008 Camera ready: February 20, 2008 GENERAL CHAIR o Phuoc Tran-Gia, University of Wuerzburg, Germany GENERAL CO-CHAIR o Prosper Chemouil, Orange Labs, France TPC CHAIRS o Kurt Tutschku, University of Vienna, Austria o Paul Mueller, University of Kaiserslautern, Germany o Frederic Dang Tran, France Telecom Orange Group, France PUBLICITY CHAIR o Rastin Pries, University of Wuerzburg, Germany TPC o Andy Bavier, Princeton University, USA o Hans van den Berg, TNO and Twente University, Netherlands o Marcus Brunner, NEC, Germany o Joachim Charzinski, Nokia Siemens Networks, Munich, Germany o Serge Fdida, Universite Pierre & Marie Curie, Paris, France o Markus Fiedler, Blekinge Tekniska H?gskola, Karlskrona, Sweden o Carmelita Goerg, University of Bremen, Germany o JongWon Kim, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Gwangju, Korea o Ulf Koerner, Lund University, Sweden o Paul Kuehn, University of Stuttgart, Germany o Kenji Leibnitz, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan o Michael Menth, University of Wuerzburg, Germany o Masayuki Murata, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan o Akihiro Nakao, The University of Tokyo/NICT, Tokyo, Japan o Guy Pujolle, LIP6, France o Dario Rossi, ENST Telecom Paris, France o Hiroshi Saito, NTT, Tokyo, Japan o Moshe Sidi, Technion, Haifa, Israel o Ralf Steinmetz, University of Darmstadt, Germany o Martin Stiemerling, NEC, Heidelberg, Germany o Pascale Vicat-Blanc Primet, Inria, France LOCAL ORGANIZATION CHAIR o Nguyen Tien Dzung, Ha Noi University of Technology, Ha Noi, Viet Nam o Nguyen Huu Thanh, Ha Noi University of Technology, Ha Noi, Viet Nam o Vu Duy Loi, College of Technology, Ha Noi, Viet Nam o Nguyen Ngoc Hien, College of Technology, Ha Noi National Unversity, Viet Nam o Nguyen Dinh Viet, College of Technology, Ha Noi National Unversity, Viet Nam o Doan Minh Phuong, College of Technology, Ha Noi National Unversity, Viet Nam o Nguyen Minh Tri, College of Technology, Ha Noi National Unversity, Viet Nam o Duong Ba Hong Thuan, Ha Noi University of Technology, Viet Nam o Nguyen Huyen Trang, Ha Noi University of Technology, Viet Nam --- Prof. Dr. Kurt Tutschku Chair of Future Communication (Endowed by Telekom Austria) Institute of Distributed and Multimedia Systems, Faculty of Computer Science University of Vienna, Universitaetsstrasse 10/T11, 1090 Wien, Austria.
