The First International Workshop on Dependable and Sustainable Peer-to-Peer Systems (DAS-P2P 2006) is the first workshop which focuses on dependability and sustainability of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, with respect to their designs, operations, applications and social impacts.
P2P can be a promising technology on which we can depend lives of ours and our children, upon which we can build sustainable societies.
Designs of P2P systems are characterized by their usage of overlay networks such that there is symmetry in the roles among participants. This implies distribution of authorities, not only preventing introduction of single points of failure, but also assuring a level of autonomy which allows many of us to spontaneously start, maintain, or recover from failures of, such systems.
Although difficulties exist, such as uncertainty in the trust among participants, one needs to be aware that such difficulties are, in many parts, due to our own human nature; depending on P2P is, in fact and literally, depending on ourselves and our friends, who seem to be the only ones we can trust anyway, when it comes to our own survival.
The goal of this workshop is to share experiences, insights and new ideas, and set forth research agendas and suggestive future directions by collaborations among researchers with different disciplines and with similar interests toward dependability and sustainability.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of relevant topics:
