IDC 2017 - The 11th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed
Computing, IFIP supported event
http://idc2017.pmf.uns.ac.rs

* Scope and Background

The 11th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing
(IDC 2017) will be held from 11 to 13 October 2017 in Belgrade, Serbia.
The main objective of the IDC series of symposiums is to provide a forum
for the dissemination of research accomplishments in the emergent field
of Intelligent Distributed Computing, as well as to promote the
collaboration between researchers from Intelligent Computing and
Distributing Computing communities. Intelligent Computing covers a
hybrid palette of methods and techniques ranging from classical
artificial intelligence, computational intelligence and multi-agent
systems to game theory. Distributed Computing develops methods and
technology to build complex computational systems composed of
collaborating software components scattered across diverse computational
elements. The emergent field of Intelligent Distributed Computing
focuses on the development of a new generation of intelligent
distributed systems. It faces the challenges of adapting and combining
research in the fields of Intelligent Computing and Distributed
Computing. The symposium welcomes submissions of original papers on all
aspects of intelligent distributed computing ranging from concepts and
theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative
applications. For its first time in Serbia, IDC 2017 will continue the
successful tradition of previous IDC symposiums by providing a platform
for researchers and practitioners to report recent trends and results
highlighting benefits of intelligent computing techniques for
distributed systems and vice-versa. IDC 2017 will consist of regular
sessions with technical contributions reviewed and selected by an
international program committee, as well as of special sessions focused
on multi-disciplinary and cutting-edge topics.

* Submission and Evaluation of Papers

Paper acceptance and publication will be judged on the basis of their
relevance to the symposium themes,
clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and
proposed solutions.
All accepted papers will be included in the Symposium Proceedings, which
will be published
by Springer as part of the series Studies in Computational Intelligence.
Submissions must conform to Springer's style for Proceedings and Other
Multiauthor Volumes
and should not exceed 10 pages. Submissions and reviews will be handled
by Easychair
(to be specified on the website). An author of an accepted paper must
register to IDC 2017
in order to have the paper published. Each accepted paper must be
presented at the symposium by one of the authors.

Extended versions of the best papers accepted and presented at this
symposium may be considered
for publication in a Special Issue of internationally recognized journals.

- 1km away from the Church of Saint Sava (one of the largest Orthodox
churches in the world),
- 2km away from Square of the Republic (Belgrade's central square) and
Knez Mihailova Street (the main pedestrian zone in Belgrade),
- 3km away from Belgrade Fortress and Kalemegdan Park (the largest park
and the most important historical monument in Belgrade located on a
cliff above the junction of the River Sava and the Danube)
