<div style="text-align:left"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><span>NETYS</span> aims to bring together researchers and engineers from both the theory </span><br>
<span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">and practice of networked systems. These systems are viewed in their general </span><br><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">sense including multi-core architectures, middleware environments, storage </span><br>
<span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">clusters, as well as social, peer-to-peer, sensor, wireless and mobile </span><br><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">networks.</span><br><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"></span><br>
<span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><span>NETYS</span> will provide a forum to report on best practices and novel algorithms, </span><br><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">results and techniques on networked systems. Original contributions as well </span><br>
<span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">as experience papers on the principles, design, implementation, modeling, </span><br><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">analysis, and application of networked systems are solicited. Specific </span><br>
<span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">concepts common to different forms of such systems are most welcome.</span><span></span><span></span><br></div><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"></span></div>
<span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br> - Multi-core architectures and multithreaded applications<br> - Distributed databases, embedded and operating systems<br>
- Mobile, wireless, ad-hoc, sensor and social networks<br> - Cloud system and services, virtualization <br> - Middleware environments and data centers<br> - Concurrent and distributed algorithms <br> - Web-based and service-oriented architectures<br>
- Event-based systems<br> - Security and privacy <br> - Self-stabilizing, self-organizing, and autonomic systems<br> - Overlay and peer-to-peer infrastructures<br><br><br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><b>GENERAL CHAIRS</b></span><br>

Registration & abstract submission: January 17, 2014<br>Paper submission: January 24, 2014<br>
Acceptance notification: March 24, 2014<br>Camera-ready copy due: April 24, 2014<br><br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><b>PAPERS SUBMISSIONS & PUBLICATION</b></span><br><span>NETYS</span> is soliciting two forms of papers: full and short papers. Both <br>
in LNCS form. Full papers are allowed a maximum of 15 pages, whereas <br>short papers are allowed a maximum of 5 pages, both in the submission <br>and in the proceedings. A full paper submission might be accepted as <br>
such, as a short paper or a poster. A short paper may be accepted as <br>
such or as a poster. Posters will be presented at the conference to <br>reflect work in progress and will not lead to a publication in the <br>proceedings. Authors are given the option to accept or not the type <br>in which their paper is selected for acceptance. <br>
<br>Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series will publish the <br>proceedings of the conference (<a href="http://www.springer.com/lncs" target="_blank">www.springer.com/lncs</a>). It is required <br>that each accepted paper be presented at the conference by one of <br>
its authors.<br><br>The Computing Journal will consider extended versions of selected <br><span>NETYS</span> papers in a special issue (<a href="http://www.springer.com/computer/journal/607" target="_blank">www.springer.com/computer/journal/607</a>)<br>
Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper. <br>A paper is eligible for the best student paper award if at least <br>one of its authors is a full-time student at the time of submission. <br>This should be indicated in the submission.<br>
<br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><b>WORKSHOPS and TUTORIALS</b></span><br>Workshops and tutorials will be held in conjunction with <span>NETYS</span> with <br>the aim of allowing researchers and practitioners to explore topics <br>
and/or emerging research areas in depth. Please contact the program <br>chairs with a brief description of proposals by January 1, 2014.<br><br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><b>HISTORY </b></span><br>The origin of <span>NETYS</span> dates back to the International Spring School on <br>
Distributed Systems organized under the name "METIS". After the success <br>of the first two editions of METIS'2008 in Rabat and METIS'2009 in <br>Marrakech, both in French, the last four editions, METIS-CTDS'2010 <br>
in Fez, METIS-CTDS'2011 in Marrakesh, METIS'2012 in Tangier, and <span>NETYS</span> <br>in Marrakesh were in English. Along the different editions of METIS/<span>NETYS</span>, <br>different topics related to distributed systems have been addressed, <br>
from the "Principles of Distributed Systems" and "How to Secure <br>Distributed Systems" to "Social Networks". All involved a prestigious <br>list of speakers.</span><br clear="all"><br></div>
