ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Distributed application technology has become a foundation of the information
society. New computing and communication technologies have brought up a
multitude of challenging application areas, including mobile computing,
inter-enterprise collaborations, ubiquitous services, service-oriented
architectures, autonomous and self-adapting systems, peer-to-peer systems,
just to name a few. New challenges include the need for novel abstractions
supporting the development, deployment, management and interoperability of
evolutionary and complex applications and services, such as those bridging the
physical/virtual worlds. Therefore, the linkage between applications,
platforms and users through multi-disciplinary user requirements (like
security, privacy, usability, efficiency, safety, semantic and pragmatic
interoperability of data and services, dependability, trust and
self-adaptivity) becomes of special interest. It is envisaged that future
complex applications will far exceed those of today in terms of these
requirements.

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 in
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.

DAIS'10 is the 10th event in a series of successful international conferences
which started in 1997. It will provide a forum for researchers, application
and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about new
approaches, trends, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed
computing.


CONFERENCE THEMES

DAIS'10 solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or
experience reports. All papers must be original, unpublished, and not
submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.

DAIS'10 especially encourages submissions addressing the following topics:

- novel and innovative applications in the areas of
  * ubiquitous and pervasive computing    
  * sensor networks             
  * mobile computing   
  * peer-to-peer systems and platforms       
  * Cloud and enterprise computing 
  * collaborative intelligent devices (e.g., robots) 
  
- models, methodology and concepts supporting distributed applications with
  respect to
  * sustainability 
  * dependability and resilience 
  * evolution 
  * energy efficiency
  * robustness and trust 
  * usability
  * autonomy

- middleware and software engineering techniques supporting distributed
  applications in the areas of
  * autonomic and resilient systems 
  * mobile systems 
  * context- and QoS-aware systems 
  * evolution of service-oriented applications 
  * enterprise-wide and global integration 
  * semantic interoperability 
  * application and service management 
  * domain-specific modelling languages 
  * model-driven software development, testing, validation, and adaptation 
  * model evolution 
  * software architecture and patterns  
                   

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions must be done electronically as postscript or PDF, using the
Springer LNCS style. DAIS'10 seeks:

- Full technical papers in no more than 14 pages, 
- Work-in-progress papers, describing on-going work and interim results, 
  in no more than 6 pages. 

Both categories of papers will be reviewed thoroughly by the DAIS'10 Program
Committee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published
by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series. More specific guidelines on the
preparation of papers can be found on the conference website. 

*New:* Extended versions of selected best papers published in DAIS'10 will be
invited for publication in a dedicated special issue of Wiley Software:
Practice and Experience
