Organized by
Department of Computer Science, University of Cyprus, Cyprus
Software Engineering Department, University of Craiova, Romania


Call for Papers
===============
Intelligent computing covers a hybrid palette of methods and techniques
derived from classical artificial intelligence, computational
intelligence, multi-agent systems a.o. Distributed computing studies
systems that contain loosely-coupled components running on different
networked computers and that communicate and coordinate their actions by
message transfer. The emergent field of intelligent distributed computing
is expected to pose special challenges of adaptation and fruitful
combination of results of both areas with a great impact on the
development of new generation intelligent distributed information systems.
The aim of this symposium is to bring together researchers involved in
intelligent distributed computing to allow cross-fertilization and synergy
of ideas and to enable advancement of researches in the field.

The symposium welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all
aspects of intelligent distributed computing ranging from concepts and
theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative
applications. Papers acceptance and publication will be judged based on
their relevance to the symposium theme, clarity of presentation,
originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions. Topics
include, but are not limited to:
- Intelligent service composition and orchestration
- E-service and Web intelligence
- Multi-agent systems
- Information extraction and retrieval in distributed environments
- Data mining and knowledge discovery in distributed environments
- Semantic and knowledge grids
- Intelligent integration of data and processes
- Distributed problem solving and decision making
- Ontologies and meta-data for describing heterogeneous resources and
services
- Autonomic, adaptive and self-organising distributed computing and systems
- Intelligence in mobile, ubiquitous and pervasive computing
- Intelligence in cooperative information systems, groupware and
workflows, virtual enterprises, social networks
- Intelligent distributed applications in e-business/e-commerce,
e-learning, e-health, e-science, e-government, crisis management
- Intelligence in Peer-to-Peer systems
- Emerging behaviours in complex distributed systems
- Modelling and simulation of intelligent distributed systems


Paper Submission and Publication
================================
All accepted papers will be included in the Symposium Proceedings, which
will be published by Springer as part of their series Studies in
Computational Intelligence. Papers should have at most 10 pages length and
must be formatted according to Springer format.

Submissions and reviews are automatically handled by a system provided by
the organizers. Please submit your paper here:
