******************************************************************************
CDS 2007 Call for Papers

First IEEE International Workshop on Cooperative Distributed Systems (CDS)

in conjunction with The 27th International Conference on Distributed
Computing Systems

Toronto, Canada
June 25-29, 2007
http://cs.acadiau.ca/~eshakshu/CDS-2007.htm

******************************************************************************

Most real world systems and applications are
inherently distributed. Distributed systems
provide extensibility, protection against single
failures, and an adequate architecture to cope
with spatially distributed real-world applications.
These systems are widely used in distributed
databases, telecommunication, groupware,
security, monitoring habitat and education.
The challenge in developing cooperative
distributed systems (CDS) is in modelling and
engineering the interactions between the entities
of the system.
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum
for academic and industry professionals to
discuss recent progress and challenges in the
area of cooperative distributed systems. We
encourage contributions that describe innovative
work and results on CDS. The topics of
interest include but are not limited to:

o Agent-based architectures for CDSs
o Agent-based Infrastructure for Autonomic Computing
o Cooperative Agents Design Issues
o Cooperation Strategies
o Coordination Models
o Grid Systems Computing
o Intelligent Systems for CDSs
o Learning Agents in CDSs
o Mobile and Pervasive Collaboration Systems
o Peer-to-Peer Systems and Applications
o Security in CDSs
o Wired and Wireless Distributed Systems
o Workload Characterization for CDSs

Submission Instructions:

Only full papers in English will be accepted.
The length of the paper is limited to 6 singlespaced
double column IEEE format pages.
Papers should be submitted by email to the
workshop organizers in PDF format. All papers
will be reviewed by independent reviewers.

Publication:

Accepted papers will be published by IEEE CS Press as IEEE 27th ICDCS
2007 Workshops Proceedings.
