DAIS 2015 Call for Papers

DAIS 2015 solicits high-quality papers reporting research results and/or experimental results in the area of distributed applications and interoperable systems. Submissions will be judged on their originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness.

Main topics of interest

The topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:

Novel and innovative distributed applications and systems, in particular in the areas of

  • middleware,
  • peer to peer systems,
  • cloud and grid computing,
  • data center and internet-scale systems,
  • big data systems,
  • social networking,
  • cyber-physical systems,
  • mobile computing,
  • service-oriented computing, and
  • context-aware computing;

Novel architectures and mechanisms, in particular in the areas of

  • pub/sub systems,
  • language-based approaches,
  • overlay protocols,
  • virtualisation,
  • parallelization,
  • bio-inspired distributed computing;

System issues and design goals, including

  • self-management,
  • security and practical applications of cryptography,
  • trust and reputation,
  • cooperation incentives and fairness,
  • fault-tolerance and dependability,
  • scalability and elasticity,
  • performance and energy-efficiency;

Engineering and tools, including

  • model-driven engineering,
  • domain-specific languages,
  • design patterns and methods,
  • testing and validation,
  • distributed debugging.

Paper submission

Contributions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. DAIS 2015 offers three submission tracks:

  • Full research papers in no more than 14 pages.
  • Full practical experience reports, including experimental and evaluation studies, case studies, and practice reports in no more than 14 pages.
  • Work-in-progress papers, describing ongoing work and interim results, in no more than 6 pages.

Submissions should be submitted electronically as PDF, using the Springer LNCS style to  the conference submission website. Each paper will undergo a thorough process of peer reviews by the Program Committee. All papers accepted in any of the conference tracks will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Proceedings will be made available at the conference. Submission implies that at least one author will register and attend the conference if the paper is accepted.
