The 7th IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications
and Interoperable Systems (DAIS) is part of the federated conferences
DisCoTec (Distributed Computing Techniques), together with the 9th
International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages
(COORDINATION) and the 9th IFIP International Conference on Formal
Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Systems (FMOODS).
It will be organised by the Department of Computer Science of
the University of Cyprus.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Distributed applications and interoperable systems have become an
integral part of everyday living, part of the socio-economic ecosystem
of our human environment. With such interdependence between society and
software, distributed software applications must be sustainable and
adaptable in the long term, despite the changes in our environment.

* What do we understand by sustainability in distributed applications
  and interoperable systems?

* How do we ensure our distributed applications can make local
  adaptation to specific circumstances of their deployment?

* How do we make our interoperable systems evolvable in the face of
  widespread change in their environment?

* How do we integrate distributed software within the wider fabric of
  computing within our modern world?

* How can distributed applications and interoperable systems capitalise
  and exploit future trends and the changing user demographic?

The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed
applications and interoperable systems: design, implementation,
operation and maintenance.

DAIS'07 is the 7th event in this successful international conference
series, commencing in 1997. It will be a forum for researchers, vendors
and users to come together to review, discuss and learn about the future
of distributed applications and interoperable systems. DAIS is now an
annual event.
