Abstract
Self-organization is seen as an attractive feature of Peer-to-Peer networks although meaning and significance of this term are far from being clear. In this chapter, principles of self-organization in Peer-to-Peer systems are identified. The potential enabled by incorporating these principles and further potentials of increasing the degree of self-organization are outlined. The Active Virtual Peer (AVP) concept is used as an example for incorporation of an enhanced level of self-organization into Peer-to-Peer systems.
