CALL FOR PAPERS 
23rd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS AND INTEROPERABLE SYSTEMS (DAIS 2023)

https://www.discotec.org/2023/dais

=======================================================================
AIM AND SCOPE

The DAIS conference series addresses all practical and conceptual aspects of 
distributed applications, including their design, modelling, implementation 
and operation, the supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering
methodologies and tools, as well as experimental studies and applications. 
Submissions will be judged on their originality, significance, clarity,
relevance, and technical correctness.

The topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:

Novel and innovative distributed applications and systems, particularly in the 
areas of:

    middleware,
    cloud, edge and fog computing,
    big data processing,
    streaming and complex event processing,
    distributed social networking,
    IoT and cyber-physical systems,
    mobile computing,
    advanced networking (SDN/NFV),
    micro-services and service-oriented computing,
serverless and FaaS computing,
    peer-to-peer systems, and
    data center and internet-scale systems.

Novel architectures and mechanisms, particularly in the areas of

    publish/subscribe systems,
    epidemic protocols,
    language-based approaches,
    virtualisation and resource allocation,
    distributed storage,
    trusted execution environments,
    blockchains, cryptocurrencies and smart contracts, and
    distributed consensus mechanisms.

System issues and design goals, including

    interoperability and adaptation,
    self-* properties (e.g., self-organisation, self-management,…),
    security and practical applications of cryptography,
    trust and privacy,
    cooperation incentives and fairness,
    fault-tolerance and dependability,
    scalability and elasticity, and
    tail-performance and energy-efficiency.

=======================================================================
SUBMISSIONS

All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication 
elsewhere. DAIS 2023 offers three submission tracks:

* Full research papers in no more than 15 pages + 2 pages references.
* Full practical experience reports, including experimental and evaluation studies,
  case studies, and practice reports in no more than 15 pages + 2 pages references.
* Work-in-Progress papers, describing ongoing work and interim results, in no more 
  than 6 pages + 2 pages references.

Papers should be submitted electronically as PDF, using the Springer LNCS style 
to the conference submission website (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=dais2023). 
Each paper will undergo a thorough process of peer reviews by the Program Committee. 
Reviewing is single-blind: author name(s) should appear. 

All papers accepted in any of the conference tracks will be included in the conference
proceedings, which will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Proceedings
will be made available at the conference. Submission implies that at least one author will
register and attend the conference if the paper is accepted.

=======================================================================
ARTEFACT SUBMISSION

To improve the reproducibility of results and to increase the visibility of prototypes and
tools produced by our community, authors of accepted papers (full papers, experience reports, WiP papers)
will be invited to submit publicly available artefacts associated with their paper for evaluation.
Based on the result of the evaluation, the paper may be awarded with badges. Artefact submission is optional
and the result of the artefact evaluation will not alter the paper’s acceptance decision. Detailed guidelines
for the preparation and submission of the artefacts will be made available to authors.
