The 4th International Workshop on Semantic P2P Networks (SP2PN 2012)

In conjunction with

the Third International Conference on Networking and Distributed Computing (ICNDC2012)

Oct 21- Oct. 24, 2012 -Hangzhou, China.

Aims and scope

Although client/server technology has been successful in many IT fields, it has many shortcomings. P2P technology is now considered as the next generation computing model. The P2P technologies are used in file sharing applications in the beginning to various general-purpose applications today. There are mainly two types of P2P technologies. The unstructured approach routes nodes by a “flooding algorithm”. The structured approach is mostly based on Distributed Hash Table (DHT) technologies. However, these two kinds of P2P approaches do not care about the semantic meaning of the nodes. They do not care about the nodes whose users may take different roles in social groups in the communities.

This workshop aims to address the need for more research into the theory and applicability of semantic P2P networks. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Search mechanisms and heuristics for computational resources based on semantic P2P network
- Service discovery & utilization based on semantic P2P network
- Semantic P2P models of deployment and management of Web Services
- Semantic P2P storage systems
- Semantic computational sharing and cloud computing over P2P networks
- Semantic Peer-to-Peer workflow management systems
- Overlay self-organization and management
- Semantic computational P2P networks
- Semantic P2P networks for scientific workflow
- Semantic P2P systems related to social science
