The fundamental premise of the research is that P2P networking will revolutionize the Internet and computing over the next ten years. P2P networking has numerous important uses beyond file sharing. P2P networking will transform the Internet from a shared bandwidth infrastructure into a combined bandwidth/storage/computing infrastructure, creating a massive, global virtual computer system, which will be shared by users around the world. Commensurate with industrial deployments and computer science systems research in P2P, this research project launches a major parallel activity in P2P networking theory. It addresses two basic research challenges: P2P systems are enormously complex and create a networking environment that is significantly different from the traditional client/server model. It is difficult to evaluate new design proposals through online experimentation and simulation. Thus the need for a major activity in P2P networking theory. This research project brings together three institutions to create a center in P2P theory. The research combines expertise in computer networking, the Internet, and distributed systems along with modeling, stochastic networks, optimization and distributed algorithms. Often, these "regions" of expertise look at problems in their own way, and there is limited interaction between these regions. This proposal will not only produce more profound results in the P2P area because of the combination of perspectives, but should provide an opportunity for these "regions" to learn more about one another's methods and approaches, facilitating future collaborations in other endeavors. The research project is organized along three major axes: availability, efficiency, and usability. It includes major activities in security and incentives. The PIs will hold monthly one-day workshops during the academic years. A significant participation from both academic and industrial researchers is expected, as well as a significant industrial involvement in much of the research. A set of performance and simulation software will be developed and made available through the Center's site. Much of the knowledge gained through the proposed research will be disseminated to students worldwide through publications in text books and journal articles.

该研究的基本前提是 P2P 网络将在未来十年内彻底改变互联网和计算。除了文件共享之外，P2P 网络还有许多重要用途。 P2P网络将把互联网从共享带宽基础设施转变为组合的带宽/存储/计算基础设施，创建一个巨大的、全球性的虚拟计算机系统，由世界各地的用户共享。与P2P的工业部署和计算机科学系统研究相适应，该研究项目启动了P2P网络理论的主要并行活动。它解决了两个基本研究挑战：P2P 系统非常复杂，并且创建了一个与传统客户端/服务器模型显着不同的网络环境。 通过在线实验和模拟来评估新的设计方案是很困难的。因此需要对 P2P 网络理论进行重大活动。该研究项目汇集了三个机构来创建一个 P2P 理论中心。该研究结合了计算机网络、互联网和分布式系统方面的专业知识以及建模、随机网络、优化和分布式算法。 通常，这些专业“区域”以自己的方式看待问题，并且这些区域之间的互动有限。 该提案不仅会因为观点的结合而在P2P领域产生更深远的成果，而且应该为这些“地区”提供一个机会，更多地了解彼此的方法和途径，促进未来在其他领域的合作。该研究项目按照三个主要轴组织：可用性、效率和可用性。它包括安全和激励方面的主要活动。 PI 将在学年期间每月举办一次为期一天的研讨会。预计学术界和工业界研究人员都会大量参与，工业界也会大量参与大部分研究。 将开发一套性能和模拟软件并通过该中心的网站提供。 通过拟议研究获得的大部分知识将通过教科书和期刊文章的出版物传播给世界各地的学生。
