The first edition of the workshop was associated with the MASCOTS'04 IEEE Conference, and was rather successful, considering the very tight scheduling (the call for papers was issued one month and half before the conference): 22 papers were submitted, and 15 were selected for the inclusion in the proceedings, that were published by the IEEE. The details of this first edition can be found at Hot-P2P'04 Home page.

The second edition, associated with the Mobiquitous 2005 international conference, consolidated the scientific community around this event. In this case 25 papers were submitted, and only 13 were accepted for publication in the IEEE proceedings, after a rigorous selection by the program committee. See details for this edition at Hot-P2P'05 Home page.

The third edition was associated for the first time with IPDPS IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium. 32 papers from North and South America, Europe, and Asia were submitted and only 13 papers were accepted, thus making a very rigorous 40% acceptance rate. See details for this edition at Hot-P2P'06 Home page.

The fourth edition was associated again with IPDPS IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium. See details for this edition at the Hot-P2P'07 Home page.

For the fifth edition, again with IPDPS, ten papers were selected out of 31 submissions. See details at the Hot-P2P'08 Home page.
