DAIS'03 Call for Papers

The ubiquitous explosion of the Internet and the fast proliferation of distributed computing involving all kinds of computing devices create a unique challenge. Innovative solutions are required for the development, implementation and operation of distributed applications in complex IT environments full of diversity and heterogeneity. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS'03 will focus on models, technologies and platforms for reconfigurable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications.

DAIS'03 will provide a forum for researchers, application and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about new approaches, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed computing. DAIS'03 will include talks by invited speakers, full technical paper sessions, and work-in-progress presentations. 

DAIS'03 Conference themes

In keeping with the focus on models, technologies and platforms for reconfigurable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications, and in addition to its traditional themes, DAIS especially encourages original unpublished papers addressing the following topics:

• new/extended software architectures and frameworks for reconfiguration and adaptation including component-based approaches (e.g. CORBA Components, EJB, .NET),
• modelling, specifying, monitoring and management of context-aware and adaptive applications,
• support for reconfiguration, self-organisation and autonomic behaviour in new/existing distributed platforms (e.g. CORBA, J2EE, .NET, WebServices),
• integration of multi-agent distributed decision-making,
• application environments that exploit characteristics of specific technologies (e.g. grid computing, mobile and wireless),
• issues in enterprise-wide and large-scale application reconfiguration,
• semantic interoperability and semantic web services. 
  

Submission

DAIS'2003 seeks submissions for:

• Full technical papers in no more than 12 pages (approximately 6000 words);
• Work-in-progress papers, describing on-going work and interim results, in no more than 5 pages.

All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. They will be refereed by the Program Committee. Accepted full papers will be published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series.
