Main topics of interest

DAIS 2016 welcomes contributions on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for large scale and complex distributed applications and services that are related to the latest trends towards bridging the physical/virtual worlds based on flexible and versatile service architectures and platforms. Submissions will be judged on their originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness.

* Novel and innovative distributed applications and systems, in particular in the areas of
- middleware,
- cloud and grid computing,
- Internet of Things (IoT),
- data center and internet-scale systems,
- big data systems,
- social networking,
- cyber-physical systems,
- mobile computing,
- service-oriented computing,
- context-aware computing, and
- peer-to-peer systems;

* Novel architectures and mechanisms, in particular in the areas of
- pub/sub systems,
- language-based approaches,
- overlay protocols,
- virtualization,
- parallelization, and
- bio-inspired distributed computing;

* System issues and design goals, including
- self-management,
- security and practical applications of cryptography,
- trust and reputation,
- cooperation incentives and fairness,
- fault-tolerance and dependability,
- scalability and elasticity, and
- performance and energy-efficiency;

* Engineering and tools, including
- model-driven engineering,
- domain-specific languages,
- design patterns and methods,
- testing and validation,
- distributed debugging.


Paper submission

Contributions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. DAIS 2016 offers three types of submissions:

• Full research papers in no more than 14 pages.
• Full practical experience reports, including experimental and evaluation studies, case studies, and practice reports in no more than 14 pages.
• Work-in-progress papers, describing ongoing work and interim results, in no more than 6 pages.


Submissions should be submitted electronically as PDF, using the Springer LNCS style to the conference submission web site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dais2016
Each paper will undergo a thorough process of peer reviews by the Program Committee. 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.
