CALL FOR PAPERS
WeeP 2009: 1st Workshop on Dependability and Security in P2P
In conjunction with LADC 2009 (Fourth Latin-American Symposium on
Dependable Computing)
ORGANIZED BY: Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG)
CO-SPONSORED BY: SBC - Brazilian Computing Society and IEEE Computer
Society Technical Committee on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance
João Pessoa, Paraíba, BRAZIL
September 1 - 4, 2009

Peer to peer and self-organizing systems hold the promise of offering
services and information anywhere and anytime, with better
scalability, improved reliability and lower costs. This is done by
eliminating the necessity of any statically designed infrastructure
or any centralized administrative authority. It is in the nature of
such networks to be self-organizing, since additionally, entities are
allowed to join or leave the network in an arbitrary manner, making
the whole system highly dynamic. Nonetheless, the issue of designing
dependable and secure systems that can cope with the high dynamism
and self-organization nature of overlay networks is a real challenge.
Therefore, many problems should be addressed. What models are most
appropriate for dynamic systems? What kind of consistency
requirements can be ensured? How to deploy services and data in order
to achieve high availability and better utilization of peer
capacities? How to construct an overlay and routing infrastructure
which is scalable and fault-tolerant? How to build efficient and
secure search mechanisms? How can applications adapt themselves to
the instability of the system and links, due to arbitrary leaves and
joins, mobility, failures, congestion and collisions.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers from different
domains to create a forum for investigating the many aspects of
providing dependability and security in self-organizing, large-scale
and dynamic systems. Contributions may span a broad range of topics,
including:
- models for dynamic and self-organizing systems;
- scalability and reliability of dynamic systems;
- P2P storage and content distribution;
- P2P performance and robustness;
- security and trust management in dynamic systems;
- P2P Grids;
- P2P over Manets;
- applications and tests.
Only original papers (not published or under review elsewhere) should
be submitted. All submissions must be made electronically through the
conference web site.
INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTRIBUTORS
Papers should be written in English and can be submitted in the
following categories: Regular Papers describing original research,
Practical Experience Reports describing an experience or a case
study. Regular Papers and Practical Experience Reports should be no
longer than 6 pages, IEEE style double-column format, respectively,
including figures, tables, references, and appendices. The font size
should be 10 points. The first page should include an abstract,
authors' names, addresses and affiliations, and specify whether the
submission is a Regular Paper or a Practical Experience Report. The
full mailing address, telephone and FAX numbers, as well as e-mail
address of the contact author should also be indicated.
