DAIS 2018 - 18th IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems

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.

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,
