                (In conjunction with the International IEEE WI/IAT’06 Conference)
			     http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/iwi06/wi/
                                 Hong Kong, December 18, 2006


Autonomous agents and Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing are currently attracting enormous media attention 
world wide. In P2P systems a very large number of autonomous computing nodes (the peers) pool together 
their resources and rely on each other for data and services. The main aim of the P2P Computing and 
Autonomous Agents workshop is addressing the needs for autonomous agents that support self-organization 
of highly autonomous peers, load balance, routing, etc. The workshop seeks papers describing significant 
research contributions to the field of P2P and Autonomous agents .  We invite submissions on Autonomous 
Agents techniques for P2P computing, Services in P2P and autonomous agent systems and Grid computing 
solutions based on autonomous agents and P2P paradigms and we encourage submissions on Sofware engineering as well.  
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

•	Autonomous agents and query languages for P2P systems
•	Data placement and query answering in P2P systems
•	Transaction management for P2P systems
•	Autonomous peers and semantic Web
•	Self-organization and emergent behavior in P2P systems
•	P2P information retrieval architectures
•	Resource allocation in P2P systems
•	Scalability, coordination, robustness and adaptability in P2P systems
•	Autonomic Services in P2P systems
•	Overlay Networks and Application Level Multicast
•	P2P Grid Computing

Submissions

Papers in P2P and autonomous agents related areas are solicited. All submitted papers will be reviewed 
on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Note that P2PAA'06 will 
accept ONLY on-line submissions, containing PDF versions. Paper submissions should be limited to 
a maximum of 4 pages in the IEEE 2-column format, and will be reviewed by the Program Committee members.
Please use the Submission Form on the P2PAA'06 website to submit your paper. Accepted papers will be 
published in the workshop proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press. In addition, there is a plan 
to invite authors to submit extended versions of their papers for a special issue of a respective journal.
