CIKM workshop on
Information Retrieval in Peer-to-Peer-Networks (P2PIR)"
Bremen, Germany, November 4, 2005

About the workshop:
It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 2th Workshop on
Information Retrieval in Peer-to-Peer Networks - P2PIR 2005. This
year's workshop aims at bringing together young researchers from
Information Retrieval and Database Systems working on peer-to-peer
information systems. Both communities have their own strategies at
solving the problem of efficient and effective query routing in
peer-to-peer networks, and a closer collaboration could have a large
impact on future P2PIR research. As such, this proposed workshop
continues the efforts from an SIGIR workshop last year on the same
topic, and the primary goal is to foster the collaboration process
started there.
In addition to 6 accepted papers, the program includes two discussion
sessions in order to benefit from different views in the two research
communities. One discussion session will deal with problems and
potential solutions in evaluating large-scale peer-to-peer
networks. The topic of the second discussion session will be fixed
together with the participants.
