-----Original Message----- From: ifip-tc6-bounces@lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE [mailto:ifip-tc6-bounces@lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE]On Behalf Of Klaus Herrmann Sent: terça-feira, 4 de Março de 2003 10:34 To: undisclosed-recipients: Subject: [ifip-tc6] CfP: Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems (DAIS 2003) Apologies if you receive this more than once. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for papers 4th International IFIP Working Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems (DAIS 2003) 19-21 November 2003, Paris, France to be held in conjunction with FMOODS'03 International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Applications Systems http://fedconf.enst.fr/ A call for tutorials common to FMOODS and DAIS and a call for workshops will be issued separately. Objectives and Scope ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. Tutorial proposals are also encouraged. 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and adaptable distributed applications, and in addition to its traditional themes, DAIS especially encourages original unpublished papers addressing the following topics: - new/extended software architectures and frameworks for reconfiguration and adaptation including component-based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. Submissions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. A call for tutorials common to FMOODS and DAIS and a call for workshops will be issued separately. Submission method: Electronic submission in PDF format using the Springer LNCS style (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submission dates: - Deadline for full paper submissions: June 2, 2003 - Deadline for work-in-progress papers: June 15, 2003 - Notification of acceptance: July 25, 2003 - Final versions: September 1st, 2003 - Conference dates : 17th to 21st November 2003 Conference Organisers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ General chair: Jean-Bernard Stefani (INRIA) Publicity Chair: Kurt Geihs (TU Berlin) Tutorial chair: Sylvie Vignes (ENST) PC Chairs: Isabelle Demeure (ENST), Daniel Hagimont (INRIA) Program Committee ------------------------------------------------------------------------ M.Ahamed, Georgia Tech, USA N.Alonistioti, University of Athens, Greece S.Baker, IONA, Ireland Y.Berbers, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium V.Cahill, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland R.Campbell, UIUC, USA N.Davies Lancaster University UK and University of Arizona, USA F.Eliassen, University of Oslo, Norway K.Geihs, TU Berlin, Germany P.Honeyman, CITI, University of Michigan, USA.
