) ) The conference series "Communication in Distributed Systems"
) ) (KiVS)--jointly organized by GI and ITG--is the most important and
) ) successful scientific conference series in Germany on all aspects of
) ) technical communication and distributed processing. It started over 30
) ) years ago. In 2011, KiVS takes place from March, 8 to 11, at
) ) Christian-Albrechts-University in Kiel. The program focus is on new
) ) developments in research and practice in the communications area.
) ) Excursions to renowned companies in the vicinity, tutorials on new
) ) technologies, and workshops on special topics round up the conference
) ) program (for the latter, see dedicated CfPs).
) )
) ) Please submit both academic and practical contributions to KiVS 2011!
) ) Three kinds of contributions are welcome:
) )
) ) • Long papers have up to 12 pages and present new scientific results
) ) and well-founded findings.
) )
) ) • Short papers are up to six pages long and describe ongoing work and
) ) innovative aspects of projects.
) )
) ) • Industry papers for the newly introduced Industry Track comprise
) ) about two pages. They present innovative projects, new technologies and
) ) trends from the industrial practice.
) )
) ) Submitted long and short papers may not have been published or submitted
) ) elsewhere. Presentation languages are German and English. All
) ) submissions must meet the language and format requirements as specified
) ) on the conference website http://www.kivs11.de. Submissions will be
) ) reviewed by the program committee with regard to their content‘s quality
