| Description |
|
The aim of the workshop is to investigate the promise
of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems for advanced data management applications. The
benefits of a P2P architecture is scalability based on autonomic peers which
may at any moment join/leave the network, publish resources (data and services)
for sharing, use resources published by other peers and eventually take part
in a collaborative work process. Furthermore, applications manipulate heterogeneous,
semantically rich data, and thus require more advanced functionalities than
the simple key-based file sharing and retrieval usually proposed by the first
P2P systems. Enhanced services must be available, for resource access and sharing,
managing logical clusters (communities of interest), handling replication, distributed
query and transaction processing, information discovery and accessibility, semantic
interoperation and composition of active information services. Also, market-based
mechanisms are needed to allow negotiated resource allocation, as well as cooperative
and non cooperative information exchanges. Finally, P2P environments need scalable
data structures and infra structures, in order to adapt to a growing number
of clients and continuously growing amounts of data, such as the case of data
streams.
The workshop co-location with EDBT,
one of the major international database conference, is important in order to
actually bring together key researchers working on databases, distributed systems
and P2P. The objective of this one-day workshop is to bring together researchers
and practitioners to discuss the challenges and propose novel solutions in the
design and implementation of advanced data management in P2P environments.
Workshop post-proceedings will be published by the ACM Digital Library
