Abstract :
Are P2P systems and applications here to stay? Or are they a bright meteor whose destiny is to disappear soon? In this paper we try to give a positive answer to the first question, highlighting reasons why the P2P paradigm should become an integral part of computing and communication services and not only oddities for Cyber-geeks.
