Keynote Speakers
AN INVITATION FROM TIM O’REILLY “Is P2P dead?” Not a chance. After the stunning success of the first O’Reilly Peerto-Peer Conference in February 2001, the hype got so intense that any company that could squeeze under the P2P umbrella did so, leading to the inevitable backlash, with many P2P companies, venture capitalists, and the press asking this question. The right question is not whether P2P is dead, or which label we’re going to use, but what’s next. New decentralized applications and services signal the rise of a nextgeneration Internet operating system, and the stakes are high. Failing to understand the tectonic shifts we’re about to face can doom companies and markets. The corresponding opportunities are huge for those who understand the deep technological forces that are transforming the computer, information, and entertainment industries. In planning the second O’Reilly Peer-toPeer & Web Services Conference, we asked “Who is creating the software and services that will change the face of the Internet as we know it? What are the key lessons we can learn from the pioneers, and how can we take their work to the next level?” Please join me to explore these questions in Washington, D.C., September 18–21. The first conference was an incredible gathering, and we expect the second to be even more exciting. The conference theme is “Inventing the Post-Web World.” Our speakers and exhibitors are literally inventing a new Internet, where peer-to-peer and web services collide and collaborate. We have twelve tutorials and over ninety sessions covering the deployment and customization of Groove, Jabber, JXTA, SOAP, HailStorm, Freenet, and Gnutella. You’ll be able to go deep into new technologies, and hear the latest ideas about business models, legislation, morality, security and digital rights management, right from the innovators who are making it all happen. See you there,

“O’R EILLY
Program Overview The O’Reilly Peer-to-Peer and Web Services Conference explores the business, technical, and societal issues raised by the most revolutionary Internet technologies since the appearance of the Web. Gnutella, Groove, Jabber, .Net, Freenet, SOAP/XML-RPC, JXTA—you name it, they’ll all be there, under one roof, providing a unique opportunity to meet, mingle with, and learn from the innovators inventing the next generation of the Internet. Discover the influence of new frameworks and applications: COLLABORATION A collaborative, interactive Web was part of Tim Berners-Lee’s original vision. But in the move to client-server architecture, collaboration and community went pretty much out the window. Peer-to-peer offers the potential to return the Web to its roots in collaboration and community, through collaborative journalism and Weblogs, Amazon-style customer reviews, and self-organizing portals. How does P2P and decentralization further this goal? P2P and web services offer the potential to know exactly who is online at a given time, thus enabling much stronger schemes for identity, authorization, collaboration, and community. The impacts are both utopian and Orwellian. Which vision will win out? And what are the paths to profitability for collaborative systems?

O’ R E I L LY F I R S T S 1986 Managing UUCP and Usenet helps spread the peer-to-peer usenet
FILE SHARING Napster took a simple idea—letting users keep their files on their own machines—added a naming scheme so that users would have unique identities regardless of their IP number, and the result was a system so powerful that only the full weight of the U.S. copyright system could crush it. Which it did. But could the legal outcome of RIAA v. Napster actually be a good thing, the impetus to move P2P file sharing from piracy to legitimate business models that reward artists as well as consumers?
DISTRIBUTED COMPUTATION SETI@Home proved that unused cycles can be put to good use over the Net. But distributed computing startups are having trouble keeping the lights on as they try to turn this interesting concept into a paying business. What kinds of problems lend themselves to resource sharing? And where is the money?
1992 O’Reilly publishes The Whole Internet User’s Guide and Catalog, helping to popularize the Internet, sparking development of the Mosaic web browser 1993 O’Reilly’s Global Network Navigator (GNN) introduces web advertising, is the first portal on the Web and the first web magazine 1995 O’Reilly’s WebSite™ is the first web server for Windows® 1997 First Perl Conference puts open source on the map 1998
INSTANT MESSAGING Instant messaging is not only a hugely popular P2P application, it also suggests important new paths for peer-to-peer communication. Text-based chat is just the tip of the iceberg. IM’s big breakthrough is in presence and identity management. IM systems know when you’re online and when you’re not, and thus when your system’s resources can be exploited, when you can receive downloads (perhaps of that movie you’ve been dying to see, but perhaps of spyware you didn’t even know existed). In short, IM ties together distributed computing, file sharing, and other crucial P2P memes.

GENERAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION . 4
Many of the key opportunities in decentralized computing arise from understanding the role of metadata and directory-style services for connecting users. A core competency of most peer-to-peer systems is managing the metadata associated with files, resources, or services. How will frameworks like SOAP, UDDI, and RDF address the issue of Internet-aware programs using the services that are offered by other programs? What is XML’s role in managing and routing data and services?

P2P AND THE LEGISLATIVE SCENE Napster has piqued the interest of several prominent members of Congress, including Senator and songwriter Orin Hatch. This panel brings together several D.C. insiders, each of whom has extensive experience with the making of copyright laws, to tell us what the prospects are for Congressional action on P2P. P ( THROUGH ISP ) TO P: THE INTERNET’S OTHER INTERMEDIARIES Internet service providers will face increased pressure to control the information that passes through their pipes to the Net, if peer-to-peer computing disperses the usual suspects. Legal or market threats to ISPs, and from them to users, could reimpose the centralization P2P was supposed to eliminate. How can users work with these unnoticed intermediaries to preserve unmediated Internet communications? PEER-TO-PEER IS DEAD, LONG LIVE...WHAT? The phrase peer-to-peer, originally coined to describe Napster and related architectures, has been stretched to, and perhaps past, the breaking point, to include distributed computing, instant messaging, and server-less groupware, as well as fuzzier ideas like peer-to-peer journalism, and even extensions of the existing client/server architecture in the form of the writeable web, web services, and dynamic DNS. Is this tent too big? Is all of this distribution and decentralization part of something larger where file sharing and real-time XML message passing and commodity supercomputers come together in a giant grid, or is peer-to-peer just a buzzword too far, a cousin of phrases like “interactivity” and “multimedia,” mere placeholders that only last for as long as it takes us to really understand what’s going on? COLLABORATIVE JOURNALISM Journalism has already been transformed by the Internet, with individual web publishers sometimes scooping Big Media, sometimes getting the story wrong. Does real-time collaboration change journalism even more? How do weblogs, collaborative authoring, and instant messaging further the graying of the lines between reporters and readers? P2P MEETS WEB SERVICES This panel discussion explores the nexus between peer-to-peer and web services. Are web services too web-centric to be considered true P2P? How is this related to today’s P2P applications employing their own little web servers? What problems do XML-based web services and decentralized P2P frameworks solve for one-another? Are SOAP and XML-RPC strong enough to provide some of the glue? This panel discussion focuses on finding the commonalties (and differences) in what seems to be a confluence of two ever-similar worldviews. MORALITY If we can find ways for content creators to make a living regardless of unauthorized distribution, is it okay? Or is it piracy no matter what the outcome? In hopes of moving conversation about file sharing beyond the standard rants, we’ll attempt a thoughtful dissection of a messy issue. OPEN SERVICES This panel discusses the challenges facing this growing phenomenon: privacy and security concerns on networks, legal concerns regarding what you do on your connection, technical concerns on interoperability, and more. Open services are gaining momentum on the Internet, and will surely be as integral to the Net as open source.

B I R D S O F A F E AT H E R S E S S I O N S In the true spirit of peer-to-peer, BOF sessions provide face-to-face time for those interested in the same projects and concepts to find each other, compare notes, and brainstorm like crazy. BOFs can be organized for individual projects (Gnutella, Freenet, Jabber), or broader topics (security, standards, distributed computation). BOFs are entirely up to you—all we do is provide a space and time to meet, and a way for you to advertise that you’d like to have a get-together. If you’re interested in moderating a BOF session, look for the BOF sign-up board at the conference.

METADATA / SEARCH TRACK T U E S D AY
P2P Search That Scales Lada A. Adamic Wednesday, 10:45 AM –11:30 AM • Capitol Decentralized peer-to-peer networks tend to have a power-law structure, where a few nodes have very high degree and many with low degree. This feature can be exploited to keep search costs down as the size of the peer-to-peer network increases. Our proposed search strategy scales well, takes advantage of the existing network structure, and incurs a relatively small additional cost for nodes.
The MusicBrainz Community Metadata Project Robert Kaye Wednesday, 11:30 AM –12:15 PM • Capitol The MusicBrainz project aims to create an open, user-contributed music metadatabase. Its web and RDF interfaces allow access to advanced metadata search capabilities. Founded on open source principles, MusicBrainz welcomes any participants and has formed commercial alliances with Bitzi and Relatable. MusicBrainz plans to distribute the metadata across a web of trust to ensure public availablity of the data.
Searching Freenet Brandon Wiley Wednesday, 2:15 PM –3:00 PM • Capitol People frequently ask Freenet developers how and when we’re going to have searching. The answer, from this Freenet project codeveloper, is “right about now.” This talk covers the up-and-coming search features for Freenet, including how they are implemented and how their limitations compare to the searchability of other systems.

OVERVIEW / INFRASTRUCTURE TRACK
Peer-to-Peer is Not Always Decentralized: When Centralization is Good Nelson Minar Thursday, 10:45 AM–11:30 AM • Regency Ballroom Explore the tradeoffs between centralization and decentralization in building peer-to-peer systems. While peer-to-peer is often identified with decentralized systems, in reality many current systems are centralized in design, or use a hybrid approach. Nelson examines four basic patterns for distributed systems design, with examples from current practice. The talk does not assume prior knowledge of any particular system.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Rael Dornfest Thursday, 11:30 AM–12:15pm • Regency Ballroom Much of the current wave of peer-to-peer infrastructure development, while borrowing ideas from existing technologies, is not extracting all there is to offer. Dornfest applies the “reduce, reuse, and recycle” creed to email, Usenet (NNTP), Internet Relay Chat (IRC), Wide-Area Information Servers (WAIS), and other familiar friends and lost acquaintances.

Soft Security—Safety in Numbers Sunir Shah Thursday, 10:45AM–11:30AM • Hampton Sunir Shah explores soft security, which builds security by relying on social forces and is remarkably effective in practice. Using his experience with MeatballWiki and the other wikis, Shah covers the principles necessary to create a human-friendly space—concepts that are strikingly missing from today’s regulated Internet. This talk is an important counterpoint to many common reactions that serve to alienate audiences throughout the Internet.
Asheron’s Call: Lessons from a Massively Multiplayer Online World Matt Ford Thursday, 3:30 PM –4:15 PM • Hampton Starting from an overview of the group dynamics of large-scale shared information spaces, we’ll probe lessons learned about rule design, various kinds of player payoff, and what keeps players engaged after the novelty has worn off. Explore the conditions that encourage sharing vs. selfishness, the pitfalls of simulated economies, and how self-organizing communities create unexpected responses to the system.
WEB SERVICES
Semantic Web or Services Web? R.V. Guha Thursday, 10:45 AM –11:30 AM • Palladian R.V. Guha demonstrates the “Semantic Web” and “Web Services” and how they are actually two sides of the same coin. Most of the web services being developed are actually creating the semantic web. Similarly, activities in the semantic web community can profitably be used by the web services community.
The Accidental Web Service: How XML-RPC United Two Systems 3000 Miles Apart Tim Allwine, Joe Johnston Thursday, 2:15 PM –3:00 PM • Palladian This session is a case study of an XML-RPC service that bridged two separately developed applications after both were deployed (Digital Asset Management Viewer and AmaRank). Although code examples will be shown in Perl and XML-RPC, the concepts presented here apply to any web service.
XSLT and Web Services Chris Dix Thursday, 3:30 PM –4:15 PM • Palladian Chris Dix looks at several ways XSLT can be used to work with web services and introduces a framework for building web services entirely in XSLT, a language that allows developers to transform one XML document into another XML document. This capability makes XSLT a valuable tool for web service developers working with SOAP, XML-RPC, or WSDL.
Building Web Services: What Tools Will it Take? Stans Kleijnen Thursday, 4:15 PM –5:00 PM • Palladian Stans Kleijnen outlines the tools needed to build web services. The Internet has changed everything—including requirements for developer tools. Many IT organizations are evolving legacy applications into a collection of Internet services that can be accessed by any new application. There is little doubt that building applications that leverage a web services-based application architecture poses a series of challenges. What’s needed: a new generation of Internet tools with services-specific capabilities.

Building these types of applications requires a store and forward messaging architecture to negotiate presence, and the ability to redirect requests from logical addresses to physical addresses. The discussion covers proposed changes to the Gnutella 0.4 protocol, and more.
The History of Inter-Library Loan Daniel Chudnov Friday, 1:30 PM –2:15 PM • Hampton Chudnov examines libraries as collection boundaryless community content providers. How does the case for libraries as backbone P2P file sharing infrastructure stack up? In some niches, quite well. Chudnov examines specific niches of content and services which are likely to always best be served by libraries, and why libraries might have a leg up on some for-profit P2P file sharing infrastructure providers.

Cybiko: Wireless Instant Messaging and Entertainment for the Schoolyard and Beyond David Yang Friday, 11:30 AM –12:15 PM • Capitol Cybiko is a completely peer-to-peer system of cheap ($99) handheld devices that transmit, walkie-talkie style, on cordless phone frequency. Used by hundreds of thousands of kids, it presents some interesting lessons. How do the packets flow? What are the dynamics of nomadic information exchange? How is the architecture built, given the small footprint of the system (1MB onboard and the kernel is 70K)?
Anonymous Wireless Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Rob Flickenger, Schuyler Erle Friday, 2:15 PM –3:00 PM • Capitol Imagine this: You pull up to a stop light in your car. The person in the next car is listening to a song by one of your favorite bands, on MP3. When you pull away from the light, you are listening to the same song in your own car. This session describes how it’s possible to build portable, anonymous, wireless, peer-to-peer file sharing networks, using off-the-shelf technologies such as 802.11b, IP networking, HTTP services, and ordinary notebook PCs.
Hughes Spaceway: A Unique Satellite Peer-to-Peer Enabling Technology Richard Smallcomb Friday, 3:30 PM –4:15 PM • Capitol Smallcomb describes a new global broadband communications satellite service under development at Hughes Electronics. The Spaceway system will provide inexpensive broadband services with small satellite dishes, with data rates ranging from 512Kbps upstream and up to 30Mbps downstream. Applications will include Internet access (with a strong multi-media component) and LAN/WAN solutions. The service will be initiated in North America in 2003. PLENARY
Town Hall Tim O’Reilly, Clay Shirky, the Program Committee Friday, 4:15 PM –5:00 PM • Regency Ballroom In a tradition carried over from the O’Reilly Perl Conference, Tim O’Reilly, Clay Shirky, and Rael Dornfest will host a “town meeting.” A panel of speakers from the conference (and potentially prominent audience members) will respond to the concerns and questions of the audience. This is our chance, as a community, to air what’s on our minds and to get a “sense of the crowd” about future directions for the technology, and what we liked and didn’t like about the conference.
