DAIS 2017 - 17th IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems

The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed applications, including their design, implementation and operation, the supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering methodologies and tools, as well as experimental studies and practice reports. This time we welcome particular 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.
