Theme: Internetworking Overlays

    Over the past years, a number of peer-to-peer networks have appeared,
    some with prominent success.  However, the possibility and potential
    of interconnecting these peer-to-peer networks have not been explored
    until recently.
    
    Peer-to-peer internetworking is going to redefine the way peer-to-peer
    networks are constructed.  Since no single peer-to-peer networks can
    serve universal purposes, functional decomposition among multiple
    peer-to-peer networks has to occur as peer-to-peer internetworking
    framework is defined.
    
    Peer-to-peer internetworking will facilitate the introduction of
    heterogeneity, internationalization, monetary infrastructure, and
    various security mechanisms.
    
    This workshop is the occasion to address this theme widely, and is
    intended to share latest research results and exchange ideas, thereby
    promoting research activities in this area.
    
    Topics include, but are not limited to:
    - Interconnection of overlay networks
    - Heterogeneous overlay networks
    - DHT and other scalable lookup algorithms
    - Overlay networks and monetary transaction
    - Internationalization in P2P applications
    - Security in overlay internetworks
    - Resource discovery and location in overlay internetworks

    Papers should be sent via e-mail to
    <p2pi2004-submit@is.aist-nara.ac.jp> no later than October 7th.
    Acceptable document formats are PostScript and PDF.  Please
    include "P2PI SUBMISSION" in the subject of e-mail, in order to
    facilitate anti-spam classification.

    Please note that, according to the SAINT2004 organizing committee,
    the workshop is subject to cancellation when enough paper
    presentations are not accepted.
