****************************************************************************** CDS 2007 Call for Papers

First IEEE International Workshop on Cooperative Distributed Systems (CDS)

in conjunction with The 27th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems

Toronto, Canada June 25-29, 2007 http://cs.acadiau.ca/~eshakshu/CDS-2007.htm

******************************************************************************

Most real world systems and applications are inherently distributed. Distributed systems provide extensibility, protection against single failures, and an adequate architecture to cope with spatially distributed real-world applications. These systems are widely used in distributed databases, telecommunication, groupware, security, monitoring habitat and education. The challenge in developing cooperative distributed systems (CDS) is in modelling and engineering the interactions between the entities of the system. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress and challenges in the area of cooperative distributed systems. We encourage contributions that describe innovative work and results on CDS. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

o Agent-based architectures for CDSs o Agent-based Infrastructure for Autonomic Computing o Cooperative Agents Design Issues o Cooperation Strategies o Coordination Models o Grid Systems Computing o Intelligent Systems for CDSs o Learning Agents in CDSs o Mobile and Pervasive Collaboration Systems o Peer-to-Peer Systems and Applications o Security in CDSs o Wired and Wireless Distributed Systems o Workload Characterization for CDSs

Submission Instructions:

Only full papers in English will be accepted. The length of the paper is limited to 6 singlespaced double column IEEE format pages. Papers should be submitted by email to the workshop organizers in PDF format. All papers will be reviewed by independent reviewers.

Publication:

Accepted papers will be published by IEEE CS Press as IEEE 27th ICDCS 2007 Workshops Proceedings.
