<b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times; ">Scope.</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times; "><span> </span>NETYS aims to bring together researchers and engineers from both the theory and practice of networked systems. These systems
are viewed in their general sense including multi-core architectures, middleware environments, storage clusters, as well as social, peer-to-peer, sensor, wireless and mobile networks. NETYS will provide a forum to report on best practices and novel algorithms,
results and techniques on networked systems. Original contributions as well as experience papers on the principles, design, implementation, modeling, analysis, and application of networked systems are solicited. Specific concepts common to different forms
of such systems are most welcome.<span> </span>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: <br>

of METIS, different topics related to distributed systems have been addressed, from the “Principles of Distributed Systems” and<span> </span>“How to Secure Distributed Systems” to “Social Networks”. All involved a prestigious list of speakers.</span></div>
