DAIS 2016 Call for Papers

Scope

The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed applications, including their design, implementation and operation, the supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering methodologies and tools, as well as experimental studies and practice reports. This time we welcome particular contributions on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for large scale and complex distributed applications and services that are related to the latest trends towards bridging the physical/virtual worlds based on flexible and versatile service architectures and platforms. Submissions will be judged on their originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness. 

Main topics of interest

The topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:

Novel and innovative distributed applications and systems, in particular in areas of
 
  • middleware, 
  • cloud and grid computing,
  • Internet of Things (IoT),
  • data center and internet-scale systems, 
  • big data systems, 
  • social networking, 
  • cyber-physical systems, 
  • mobile computing, 
  • service-oriented computing, 
  • context-aware computing, and 
  • peer-to-peer systems;

Novel architectures and mechanisms, in particular in areas of

  • pub/sub systems, 
  • language-based approaches, 
  • overlay protocols, 
  • virtualization, 
  • parallelization, and
  • bio-inspired distributed computing; 

System issues and design goals, including 

  • self-management, 
  • security and practical applications of cryptography, 
  • trust and reputation, 
  • cooperation incentives and fairness, 
  • fault-tolerance and dependability, 
  • scalability and elasticity, and
  • performance and energy-efficiency; 

Engineering and tools, including 

  • model-driven engineering, 
  • domain-specific languages, 
  • design patterns and methods, 
  • testing and validation, and
  • distributed debugging. 

Invited speaker

Tim Harris, Oracle Labs, UK.

Paper submissions

All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. DAIS 2016 offers three submission tracks:

  • Full research papers in no more that 14 pages. 
  • Full practical experience reports, including experimental and evaluation studies, case studies, and practice reports in no more than 14 pages.
  • Work-in-progress papers, descriing ongoing work and interim results, in no more than 6 pages. 

Contributions should be submitted electronically as PDF, using the Springer LNCS style to the conference submission website. Each paper will undergo a thorough process of peer reviews by the Program Committee. Reviewing is single-blind: author name(s) should appear. All papers accepted in any of the conference tracks will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Proceedings will be made available at the conference. Submission implies that at least one author will register and attend the conference if the paper is accepted.
