Wireless ad-hoc communication has applications in a variety of environments, such as conferences, hospitals, battlefields and disaster-recovery/rescue operations, and is also being actively investigated as an alternative paradigm for Internet connectivity in both urban and rural areas. Wireless sensor and actuator networks are also being deployed for enhancing industrial control processes and supply-chains, and for various forms of environmental monitoring. The IEEE MASS 2011 aims at addressing advances in research on multi-hop ad-hoc and sensor networks, covering topics ranging from technology issues to applications and test-bed development. Please keep checking this web-space for more information and regular updates about MASS 2011. * Topics of Interest Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of (mobile) ad-hoc networks and wireless sensor networks (WSN), systems and applications.

These systems have emerged as the dominant consumers of residential Internet subscribers' bandwidth, and are being increasingly used in many different application domains. In the last few years, research on P2P systems has been quite intensive, and has produced remarkable results in scalability, robustness, location, distributed storage, and system measurements. Consequently, P2P systems continue to evolve, differentiating today's state-of-the-art from earlier instantiations such as Napster, KaZaA, Gnutella, and Morpheus. The International Workshop on Hot Topics in Peer-to-Peer Systems (Hot-P2P) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners, from both industry and academia, in the fields of systems, networking, and theory, and to represent an occasion to share latest research results and ideas on P2P systems, thereby promoting research activities in this area. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * P2P applications and infrastructures * Performance evaluation and workload characterization * Trust and reputation in P2P systems * Security and privacy in P2P systems * Routing and fault-tolerance in P2P systems * Resource discovery/management in P2P systems * Network support for P2P systems * Self-organization and self-management in P2P environments IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: Friday, November 19th, 2010 Notification of acceptance/rejection: Tuesday, January 4th, 2011 Camera ready version due: Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 (same as IPDPS) PROGRAM COMMITTEE Program chair: Jiannong Cao, Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Hong-Kong) Program Committee: Cosimo Anglano, Universita' del Piemonte Orientale (Italy) Julien Bourgeois, University of Franche-Comte (France) Eddy Caron, ENS Lyon (France) Cheng-Fu Chou, National Taiwan University (Taiwan) Giuseppe Ciaccio, Universita' di Genova (Italy) Antonio Corradi, Universita' di Bologna (Italy) Matteo Dell'Amico, EURECOM (France) Thomas Fuhrmann, Universitaet Karlsruhe (Germany) Luisa Gargano, Universita' di Salerno (Italy) Ali Ghodsi, UC Berkeley (USA) Giulio Iannello, Universita' Campus Biomedico, Roma (Italy) Fabrice Le Fessant, INRIA (France) Laurent Lefevre, INRIA Rhone-Alpes (France) Emilio Leonardi, Politecnico di Torino (Italy) Luigi Liquori, INRIA (France) Lican Huang, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University (China) Alberto Montresor, Universita' di Trento (Italy) Giancarlo Ruffo, Universita' di Torino (Italy) Krzysztof Rzadca, Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) Florian Schintke, Zuse Institut Berlin (Germany) Kurt Tutschku, Universitaet Wien (Austria) Haiyong Xie, Akamai Technologies (USA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join TCDP The TCDP welcomes IEEE Computer Society members with an interest in distributed computing.
