International Symposium on Intelligent and Distributed Computing - IDC'2007
===========================================================================
October 18-20, Craiova, Romania
http://software.ucv.ro/~badica_costin/idc2007/index.html
Call for Papers
===============
Intelligent computing is a quite mature field of information and
communication technology covering a hybrid palette of methods and
techniques derived from classical artificial intelligence,
computational intelligence, multi-agent systems a.o. Intelligent
computing is generally known to be computationally intensive from
the point of view of resources required: time, memory, bandwidth. As
this is usually thought to be a drawback, distributed computing is
expected to give an impetus to its practical applications. Moreover,
intelligent techniques have also proved their usefulness to core
distributed computing technologies like: planning & scheduling, load
balancing, replication, resource allocation and management, etc.
Therefore, the emergent field of intelligent and distributed
computing is expected to pose new challenges of adaptation and
fruitful combination of both areas. The aim of this symposium is to
bring together researchers involved in intelligent and distributed
computing to allow cross-fertilization and synergy of ideas and to
enable advancement of researches in the field.
The symposium welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all
aspects of intelligent and distributed computing ranging from
concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and
innovative applications. Papers acceptance and publication will be
judged based on their relevance to the symposium theme, clarity of
presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed
solutions. Topics include, but are not limited to, broadly
understood:
- Intelligent service composition and orchestration
- E-service and Web intelligence
- Multi-agent systems
- Information extraction and retrieval in distributed environments
- Data mining and knowledge discovery in distributed environments
- Semantic and knowledge grids
- Intelligent integration of data and processes
- Distributed problem solving
- Ontologies and meta-data for describing heterogeneous resources and
services
- Autonomic and adaptive computing
- Intelligence in mobile and ubiquitous computing
- Intelligence in cooperative information systems, groupware and
workflows, virtual enterprizes
- Intelligent applications in e-business/e-commerce, e-learning, e-health,
e-science, e-government
Paper Submission and Publication
================================
All accepted papers will be included in the Symposium (Post-)Proceedings,
which will be published by Springer as part of one of their series Studies
in Computational Intelligence or Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing.
Papers should have at most 10 pages length and must be formatted according
to Springer format. Submissions and reviews will be automatically handled
