Opportunities and challenges for implementing highly complex, efficient, and dependable business and control systems have been steadily increasing, driven by the continuous growth in the power, intelligence, adaptiveness and openness of technologies and standards applied in computing, communication and control systems. Dynamically changing social and economic situations demand the next-generation of systems to be based on adaptive, reusable, and internet and Web-enabled technologies and applications. Such systems are expected to have the characteristics of living systems composed of largely autonomous and decentralized components. Such systems are called Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ADS). The International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized System (ISADS) has been the premier events in the past twenty-two years to have successfully addressed these challenges. The 11th ISADS 2013 will continue to focus on the advancements and innovations in ADS concepts, technologies, applications strategic issues, and other related topics. The special topic for ISADS 2013 is the smart cities and e-applications. We invite research papers, workshop proposals, and panel proposals on, but not limited to, the following topics:

Novel applications, including e-business, e-commerce and e-government; telecommunications; information service systems; manufacturing systems; real-time event management; office automation; traffic and transportation control; supply chains; environmental/emergency protection; networked health and medical systems; intelligent home control; embedded systems for automotive and avionics applications
Analytics for resources optimization in smart cities
Autonomous and decentralized services, including service architecture, protocols, and collaboration
Object management architecture, design patterns, application frameworks
Service-oriented architecture, design patterns, and application frameworks
Web services and Web-based application composition
Distributed and collaborative development, test and maintenance, and development infrastructure of high-quality software systems, cloud computing, and service-oriented architecture
Assurance, fault tolerance, on-line expansion, on-line-maintenance, and resilience
Emergent control and robotic systems
Heterogeneous distributed information / control systems
Modeling and simulation of autonomous services and service-oriented application composition
Model driven development
Mobile agent / computer-supported cooperative works
Ad-hoc networks and sensor networks
Advanced network infrastructures and internetworking
