This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 25th Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (SBRC).

Important Dates Proposal submission due: March 15th, 2007 Notifications to authors: April 1st, 2007 Final papers due: May 15th, 2007 Workshop: June 1st, 2007 http://roads.cs.princeton.edu/belem07

Overview The 1st Latin American Workshop on Real Overlays And Distributed Systems (ROADS) will bring together people who are (interested in) exploring the new challenges of building overlay networks and distributed networked systems.

...

From a technical perspective, the ROADS workshop is a place to share new

ideas, experiences, and work in progress. From a social point of view, one goal of ROADS is to nurture important face-to-face interaction among Latin America based Real Overlays And Distributed Systems builders and the international research community.

The Real in ROADS refers to systems that are run on a real platform for a period of time. Such systems might be research projects, teaching exercises, or more permanent services, but they should address technical issues of actual overlays and distributed systems. We also welcome works that explore the extent to which results obtained from simulation or testbed deployments retain validity when transferred to more representative network environments. ROADS emphasis will be on overlays and distributed systems that are�intended to be�spread over a large number of sites (e.g., PlanetLab).

The workshop program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers and from invited speakers.

Call for Papers Authors are invited to submit a proposal to present a technical paper, demonstration, or a new idea that exposes a new problem, advocates a specific solution, or reports on actual experience. Proposals are your chance to sell the topic to the review committee, which will assess the relevance of your topic to ROADS.

Step 2: Final papers of no more than 5 pages in total length are due May 15th, 2007. Papers must be two-column format using single-spaced 10pt type. Copies of these papers will be made available online for the workshop.
