Overlay technologies can give solutions to the scaling problems of the Future Internet. The enormous increase in connected devices, computing power in the edges and bandwidth will push the Internet to its limits. P2P solutions can help with scaling problems in clouds, but also to benefit from the huge amount of voluntary resources in the edges to form nebulas: more dispersed, less managed clouds. On the other hand, P2P is particularly challenging for developing collaborative systems. In this line, P2P can be used to create social networks and communities, to discover users and information, to aggregate community contents or even as a communication medium for large groups. The COPS'10 workshop is at its sixth edition and aims to discuss new research ideas and applications in the exciting area of P2P. We encourage people to present and discuss their results to contribute to the development of a technology and of a shared vision of the field. +++++++++++++++++++ Topics of Interest +++++++++++++++++++ We seek high-quality and original contributions on the general theme of P2P systems. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics of special interest: * Overlay technologies for the Future Internet * Cloud Systems and P2P * P2P and Social Networks * Trust and reputation management in P2P system * Novel P2P Systems: P2P Storage, P2P Streaming,... * P2P Internet Infrastructures * P2P Middleware * Security in P2P systems * Self-organization in P2P systems * Cooperative searching for P2P systems * P2P programming and metaprogramming * QoS and SLA management in P2P systems * P2P economics * P2P Groupware tools and architectures * P2P applications and services * Industrial applications / P2P in use * P2P software developement support * P2P research projects ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On-Line Submissions and Publication ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In line with other workshops like IPTPS, COPS 2010 intends to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the key issues, approaches, open problems, innovative applications, and trends in this research area. We encourage submissions of position papers (2-6 pages) presenting novel ideas that may lead to insightful technical discussions at the workshop. Papers should contain original contributions not published or submitted elsewhere, and references to related state-of-the-art work. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their views of the field at the oral presentation. Papers up to six pages (including figures, tables and references) can be submitted. Papers should follow the IEEE format, which is single spaced, two columns, 10 pt Times/Roman font. Papers should include a title, the name and affiliation of each author, an abstract of up to 150 words and no more than eight keywords. Authors should also provide contact addresses, if different from the submitting electronic address. All submissions should be electronic (in PDF) and will be peer-reviewed by at least three program committee members. Full papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Note that at least one author from each accepted paper should register to attend WETICE 2010 to get the paper published in the Post-conference Proceedings. If you have further questions or remarks, please do not hesitate to contact the workshop chair. Please submit your paper by accessing the easy Chair Submission Site (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cops10).
