Synopsis

The4th InternationalWorkshoponPeer-to-PeerSystemswasheld atCornellon February 24th and 25th 2005.The IPTPS workshopcontinued to bring together researchersand practitioners from a variety of disciplines, including networking, theory,databases,security,andscienti?ccomputing. Theydescribedexperim- tal ?ndings, discussed challenges, and presented novel techniques. We received 123 submissions. Submissions were limited to 6 pages, one page morethanin previousyears.ThesubmissionswerereviewedbyaProgramC- mitteeconsistingof18internationalexpertsfromacademiaandindustry.Aftera bidding process,each committee member was assigned 20 papers to review, g- erating 3 reviews for each paper. Controversial papers were assigned additional reviewers.Thepaperswerethenrankedbasedonoriginality,technicalmerit,and topical relevance,aswell asthe likelihood that the ideas expressedwouldlead to insightful technical discussions at the workshop. The program chairs suggested a program which was extensively discussed and revised by the entire committee to produce the ?nal program. We accepted 24 papers, which were organized into 8 sessions: Security and Incentives, Search, Multicast, Overlay Algorithms, Empirical Studies, and N- work Locality, and two sessions on miscellaneous topics. Authors revised their submissions for a preproceedings distributed at the workshop. After the wo- shop, the authors revised their papers once more for the proceedings before you.

Synopsis

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems, IPTPS 2005, held at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA, in February 2005.The 24 revised full papers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvements from 123 submissions. The papers document the state of the art in peer-to-peer computing research. They are organized in topical sections on security and incentives, search, multicast, overlay algorithms, empirical studies, and network locality. The proceedings also include a report with a summary of discussions held at the workshop.
