The ScopeP2P2005 is the fifth Conference in a continuation of annual 
              conferences concerned with the convergence of overlay network 
              technologies that empower the leaf-nodes. These technologies include 
              Peer-to-Peer, Grids, Clusters, and the Web Services that ride over 
              them. These overlay networks are converging toward a common set 
              of protocols due to their extensive implementations on the Internet 
              and other shared environments. These new protocols render the overlay networks functionally independent 
              of the networks that they ride on. This has opened new security 
              issues. Not only must we be concerned with the security within the 
              overlay network, we must be concerned with the threats they may 
              spawn toward the networks they ride on. Consistent with our previous conferences we promote a collaboration 
              in research between academic institutions, government organizations, 
              and business enterprises that are concerned with the research and 
              implementation of P2P, Grids, and Clusters. TopicsAny topic that relates to Peer-to-Peer, Grids, and Clusters is 
              open for consideration. We would like to give special encouragement 
              to research papers on security technology and policy issues for 
              these overlay networks. Some of the suggested topics are:
