9.00 - 10.00 – Registration

10.00 - 11.00 – Tutorial 1:

Dr Sandeep K. Singhal, Director Windows Networking, Microsoft Corporation & Ravi Rao, Senior Program Manager for P2P, Microsoft Corporation.
An Overview of the Windows Peer-to-Peer and Collaboration Platform: Building Great Applications using Standard Components

Abstract: The Microsoft Windows Peer-to-Peer APIs provide a rich platform for building peer-to-peer applications. Capabilities in the platform include
  • Serverless name resolution (including the ability to give your PC a DNS "name" without signing up for a dynamic DNS server)
  • Unstructured overlays with data replication, messaging, and security support
  • User-to-user collaboration, including personal contact lists, serverless presence and data publication, People Near Me discovery, and P2P application invitiations
In this tutorial, we will provide an overview of the Windows P2P platform and its capabilities. We will walk through details of how individual platform components work, and, using code examples, show how you can easily build real-world P2P applications on Windows.

11.00 - 11.30 – Coffee break

14.00 - 15.30 – Tutorial 2:

Wolfgang Kellerer, Zoran Despotovic, DoCoMo Euro-Labs, Stefan Zoels, Gerald Kunzmann, Technische Universitaet Muenchen. Peer-to-Peer - From basic principles to selected advanced topics.

Abstract: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems can be regarded as decentralized and self organizing overlay architectures, independent of specific access networks. Self organization makes them robust and flexible to dynamic changes without provider interaction. Their main objective is to support lookup and use of distributed resources. P2P technologies have thus received an increased interest in academia and also in industry in different application areas not only limited to file sharing but also in communication applications such as Skype. The potential of P2P is in the realization of novel applications (user generated content, community based services) and also in applying its principles to use existing resources in a more efficient way to save infrastructure cost.

This tutorial explains principles and selected advanced issues of P2P technologies. For the basic principles of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communications, we are going to explain the concepts and algorithms of unstructured and structured (DHT-based) P2P systems, which are the two main concepts used for resource lookup. Both concepts will be explained and illustrated with examples about analysis, traffic evaluations and applications. In the same way, we will elaborate on algorithms for P2P data delivery (example:BitTorrent). Advanced issues highlight the following selected topics: hierarchical P2P, P2P security, P2P reputation and trust, and mobile P2P.

Tutorial outline:
  • Introduction and principles (30 min)
  • definition, graph theory, typical parameter distributions, evaluation tools P2P Lookup (60 min)
  • Unstructured P2P, structured P2P/DHT, hierarchical P2P P2P data delivery (20 min)
  • P2P security and Trust and reputation management (20 min)
  • Mobile P2P (20 min)

15.30 - 16.00 – Coffee break
