IDC 2017 Call for Papers (apologies for multiple copies)

Deadline April 4, 2017

====================================================================== IDC 2017 - The 11th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing (IFIP supported event) 11 - 13 October 2017 Belgrade, Serbia URL: http://idc2017.pmf.uns.ac.rs ======================================================================

*** SYMPOSIUM PROCEEDINGS & JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUES 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. 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. Submissions and reviews will be handled by Easychair. 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.

Authors of the best papers presented in the Symposium will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers in the following Journals: - ComSIS - Computer Science and Information Systems Journal, two-year impact factor (2015): 0.623 - Information Technology And Control, impact factor (2015): 0.633

If there are enough papers on more theoretical and mathematical subjects, a special issue of Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence is planned (impact factor 2015/2016: 0.944).

*** INVITED SPEAKERS - Karl Tuyls (University of Liverpool, UK) - Eva Onaindia (Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain)

*** IMPORTANT DATES - Paper submission: April 4, 2017 - Notification of acceptance: May 13, 2017 - Camera-ready papers: May 29, 2017 - Registration: July 15, 2017

*** SCOPE AND BACKGROUND 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.
