***************** IDC'2008 - preliminary call for papers ******************
2nd International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing - IDC'2008 =========================================================================== September 18-20, 2008, Catania, Italy
http://idc08.diit.unict.it Contact: gmangioni@diit.unict.it, badica_costin@software.ucv.ro
Organized by Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica e delle Telecomunicazioni, Universita di Catania, Italia Software Engineering Department, University of Craiova, Romania
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 distributed computing - Intelligence in mobile and ubiquitous computing - Intelligence in cooperative information systems, groupware and workflows, virtual enterprises, social networks - Intelligent applications in e-business/e-commerce, e-learning, e-health, e-science, e-government - Self-organising and adaptive distributed systems - Intelligence in Peer-to-Peer systems - Emerging behaviours in complex distributed systems - Modelling and simulation of intelligent distributed systems
Paper Submission and Publication ================================ All accepted papers will be included in the Symposium Proceedings, which will be published by Springer as part of their series Studies in Computational Intelligence. Papers should have at most 10 pages length and must be formatted according to Springer format.
Submissions and reviews are automatically handled by a system provided by the organizers.
Extended versions of the best papers accepted and presented at this symposium may be considered for publication in a Special Issue of an internationally recognized journal.
Important dates =============== Full paper submission: April 6, 2008 Notification of acceptance: May 18, 2008 Final (camera ready) paper due: June 20, 2008 Symposium: September 18-20, 2008
