Announcement and Call for Papers

The 5th IFIP Conference on

Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems

DAIS 2005

June 15-17, 2005, Athens, Greece

http://www.di.uoa.gr/dais-fmoods-2005/

To be held in conjunction with
FMOODS2005

Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The emergence of 4th generation communication systems, the evolution of the Internet technologies, the convergence of the telecom and datacom, wireless and fixed communication systems and applications pave the path for ubiquitous service and application provision. Innovative solutions are required for the development, implementation and operation of distributed applications in complex IT environments full of diversity and heterogeneity. Today, systematic application development support is lacking for the emerging wide spectrum of distributed systems ranging from ambient intelligence to global computing scenarios. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS'05 will focus on models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications within all kinds of computing environments.
DAIS'05 is the fifth event in a series of successful international conferences, which started in 1997. DAIS'05 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'05 will include talks by invited speakers, full technical paper sessions, and work-in-progress presentations.

CONFERENCE THEMES

In keeping with the focus on models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications, and in addition to its traditional themes, DAIS'05 especially encourages original unpublished papers addressing the following topics:

software architectures and frameworks for application reconfiguration and adaptation,

component frameworks (e.g. CORBA Components, EJB, .NET),

autonomous systems and architectures,

modelling, specifying, monitoring and management of context-aware and adaptive applications,

support for self-organisation and autonomic behaviour in distribution platforms,

application infrastructures for Service-oriented Architectures and Web Services,

application environments for specific technologies (e.g. GRID computing, mobile and wireless),

issues in enterprise-wide and large-scale application integration,

model-driven development and testing,

application management and tuning,

development methodologies for ambient intelligence and sensor net applications,

semantic interoperability and semantic web services.
