                      ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS

                                DAIS 2005

                              5th IFIP WG 6.1
                       International Conference on
             Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems


                               Athens, Greece
                              June 15-17, 2005

                     http://www.di.uoa.gr/dais-fmoods-2005/

                    To be held in conjunction with FMOODS2005
            (Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems)


ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The emergence of 4th generation communication systems, the evolution of
the Internet technologies, the convergence of the telecom and datacom,
wireless and fixed communication systems and applications pave the path
for ubiquitous service and application provision. Innovative solutions
are required for the development, implementation and operation of
distributed applications in complex IT environments full of diversity
and heterogeneity. Today, systematic application development support is
lacking for the emerging wide spectrum of distributed systems ranging
from ambient intelligence to global computing scenarios. Following the
evolution of the field, DAIS'05 will focus on models, technologies and
platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable distributed
applications within all kinds of computing environments.

DAIS'05 is the fifth event in a series of successful international
conferences, which started in 1997. DAIS'05 will provide a forum for
researchers, application and platform service vendors and users, to
review, discuss and learn about new approaches, concepts and
experiences in the fields of distributed computing. DAIS'05 will
include talks by invited speakers, full technical paper sessions, and
work-in-progress presentations.

CONFERENCE THEMES
In keeping with the focus on models, technologies and platforms for
interoperable, scalable and adaptable distributed applications, and in
addition to its traditional themes, DAIS'05 especially encourages
original unpublished papers addressing the following topics:

-  software architectures and frameworks for application reconfiguration
    and adaptation,
-  component frameworks (e.g. CORBA Components, EJB,.NET),
-  autonomous systems and architectures,
-  modelling, specifying, monitoring and management of context-aware and
    adaptive applications,
-  support for self-organisation and autonomic behaviour in distribution
    platforms,
-  application infrastructures for Service-oriented Architectures and
    Web Services,
-  application environments for specific technologies (e.g. GRID
    computing, mobile and wireless),
-  issues in enterprise-wide and large-scale application integration,
    model-driven development and testing,
-  application management and tuning,
-  development methodologies for ambient intelligence and
    sensor net applications,
-  semantic interoperability and semantic web services.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
DAIS'2005 seeks submissions for:
- Full technical papers in no more than 12 pages (about 6000 words);
- Work-in-progress papers, describing on-going work and interim
   results in no more than 5 pages.

All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted simulta-
neously for publication elsewhere. They will be refereed by the Pro-
gram Committee. Accepted full papers will be published by Springer in
the LNCS series. Submission format: PDF using the Springer LNCS style.

IMPORTANT DATES
Full paper submission:                            February 1, 2005
Work-in-progress papers:                          February 15, 2005
Notification of acceptance:                       March 15, 2005
Camera ready version:                             April 7, 2005
Conference dates:                                 June 15-17, 2005

VENUE & EVENT
DAIS'05, organized by the Communications Network Laboratory of the
University of Athens, will be held in Athens, Greece, colocated with
the 7th IFIP Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems
(FMOODS'05). The accompanying programme of shared satellite workshops
-- a call for workshop proposals is issued separately -- will in
particular include a Ph.D workshop giving young researchers an
international platform to present their results.
