Mobile and wireless systems can especially benefit from the self-organizing characteristics of P2P systems, e.g., with respect to robustness, however the heterogeneity and dynamicity of those systems also poses severe challenges to P2P concepts. Moreover exploiting mobile systems features, new applications for P2P systems are opened such as location based services. The degree of controllability as an operator requirement versa self organization has to be considered as another important challenge for mobile P2P approaches.

This focus group is going to elaborate on wether the current state of the art in P2P solutions is sufficient for mobile systems and discusses open research issues as well as emerging application classes.
