ISADS 2011 - The 10th International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems ISADS2011

Call for Papers
International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems
(ISADS 2011, The 10th Jubilee)
23-27 March, 2011, Tokyo & Hiroshima, Japan

Scope
Opportunities and challenges for realizing 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 applied in
computing, communication and control systems. Dynamically changing
social and economic situations demand the next-generation of systems
to be based on adaptive and reusable 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 years to have successfully
addressed these challenges. The forthcoming ISADS 2011 is the 10th
event and we will celebrate the event by organizing a special forum,
"The 10th ISADS Jubilee Forum'' at ISADS 2011, in addition to its
technical programs. While the 10th ISADS 2011 will focus primarily on
advancements and innovations in ADS concepts, technologies,
applications, and strategic issues, other topics are not excluded. The
ISADS 2011 Technical Program Committee invites papers and proposals of
workshops and panels on the topics of the symposium, which include,
but are not limited to:

* Computer and communication architectures
* Autonomous and decentralized services, including service

architecture, protocols, and collaboration
* Distributed and collaborative development, test and maintenance,

and development infrastructure of high-quality software systems
* Ad-hoc networks and sensor networks
* Advanced network infrastructures and internetworking
* Assurance, fault tolerance and on-line expansion
* Autonomic computing systems
* Emergent control and robotic systems
* Heterogeneous distributed information / control systems
* Mobile agent / computer-supported cooperative works
* Model driven development
* Modeling and simulation of autonomous services and service-oriented

application composition
* Object management architecture, design patterns, application frameworks
* Service-oriented architecture, design patterns, and application frameworks
* Web services and Web-based application composition
* 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
