DAIS 2018


Scope

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

Main topics of interest

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

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

  • middleware,
  • cloud computing,
  • edge and fog computing,
  • big data processing,
  • streaming and complex event processing,
  • social networking,
  • cyber-physical systems,
  • mobile computing,
  • advanced networking (SDN/NFV),
  • service-oriented computing, and
  • peer-to-peer systems;

Novel architectures and mechanisms, particularly in areas of

  • publish/subscribe systems,
  • language-based approaches,
  • data center and internet-scale systems,
  • virtualization and resource allocation,
  • distributed storage,
  • blockchains, cryptocurrencies and smart contracts, and
  • bio-inspired distributed computing;

System issues and design goals, including

  • interoperability and adaptation,
  • self-* properties (e.g., self-organization, 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;

Submission and publication

All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. DAIS 2018 offers three submission tracks:

  • 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.

Contributions should be submitted electronically as PDF, using the Springer LNCS style to the conference submission website (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dais18). 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.
