IDCS 2013 - The 6th International Conference on Internet and Distributed Computing Systems (IDCS 2013)

The 6th International Conference on
Internet and Distributed Computing Systems (IDCS 2013)
October 28-30, 2013, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
*******************************************************
IDCS 2013 conference is the sixth in its series to promote research in
diverse fields related to Internet and Distributed Computing Systems. The
emergence of Web as a ubiquitous platform for innovations has laid the
foundation for the rapid growth of the Internet. Side-by-side, the use of
mobile and wireless devices such as PDA, laptop, and cell phones for
accessing the Internet has paved the ways for related technologies to
flourish through recent developments. In addition, the popularity of sensor
networks is promoting better integration of the digital world with physical
environment. In IDCS 2013 conference, we are interested in receiving
innovative papers on emerging technologies related to Internet and
distributed systems to support the effective design and efficient
implementation of high-performance computer networks. The target audience
includes researchers and industry practitioners those are interested in
different aspects of the Internet and distributed systems, with a
particular focus on the practical experiences with the design and
implementation of related technologies as well as their theoretical
perspectives.
