6th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
DAIS 2006
"From service-oriented architectures to self-managing applications"
Bologna, Italy June 13-16, 2006
http://www.discotec06.cs.unibo.it/DAIS06/
To be held in conjunction with FMOODS 2006 and Coordination 2006 http://discotec06.cs.unibo.it
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE ====================
The conference program presents the state of the art in research concerning distributed and interoperable systems. In recent years, distributed applications have indeed gained a practical and widely-known footing in everyday computing. Use of new communication technologies have brought up divergent application areas, including mobile computing, inter-enterprise collaborations, and ubiquitous services, just to name a few. New challenges include the need for service-oriented architectures, autonomous and self-managing systems, peer-to-peer systems, grid computing, sensor networks, semantic enhancements, and adaptivity and dynamicity of distribution constellations.
Following the evolution of the field, DAIS 2006 focuses on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable systems that are related to the latest trends towards service orientation and self-* properties. The papers to be presented at DAIS 2006 cover methodological aspects, tools and language of building adaptable distributed and interoperable services, fault tolerance and dependability, peer-to-peer systems, mobility issues, web services applications and performance issues and composition, semantic web and semantic integration, and context- and location-aware applications.
This year, the technical program of DAIS drew from 99 submitted papers, among which 10 were explicitly submitted as work-in-progress papers. From these, 21 regular and 5 work-in-progress papers were selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The DAIS 2006 conference is sponsored by IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) and it was the sixth conference in the DAIS series of events organized by IFIP Working Group 6.1.
DAIS'06 will be held in the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy, colocated with the 8th IFIP Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems (FMOODS'06) and Coordination'06. Attendants of DAIS'06 will have the opportunity to attend the sessions of the two colocated conferences.
