DisCoTec 2018 - 13th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques

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 particularly 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.
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, data store, cloud computing, edge
and fog computing, big data systems, data center and internet-scale
systems, social networking, cyber-physical systems, mobile computing,
software-defined network (SDN), service-oriented computing, and
peer-to-peer systems;
- Novel architectures and mechanisms, particularly in areas of pub/sub
systems, language-based approaches, overlay protocols, virtualization,
resource allocation, blockchains, parallelization, and bio-inspired
distributed computing;
- System issues and design goals, including 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;
- Engineering and tools, including model-driven engineering,
domain-specific languages, design patterns and methods, profiling and
learning, testing and validation, and distributed debugging.
