CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------

The emergent field of Intelligent Distributed Computing focuses on the development
of a new generation of intelligent distributed systems. It faces the challenges of
adapting and combining research in the fields of Intelligent Computing and
Distributed Computing. Intelligent Computing develops methods and technology ranging
from classical artificial intelligence, computational intelligence and multi-agent
systems to game theory. The field of Distributed Computing develops methods and
technology to build systems that are composed of interacting and collaborating
components. The symposium welcomes submissions of original papers on all aspects of
intelligent distributed computing ranging from concepts and theoretical developments
to advanced technologies and innovative applications. 

The 8th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing has a special
interest in (but will not be limited to) novel architectures, systems and methods
that facilitate distributed / parallel / multi-agent biocomputing for solving
complex computational and real-life problems.

Paper acceptance and publication will be judged on the basis of their relevance to
the symposium themes, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results
and proposed solutions. Symposium topics include, but are not limited to:

Intelligent Distributed and High-Performance Architectures
- Hybrid distributed systems involving software agents and human actors
- Intelligent grid and cloud infrastructures
- Agent-based wireless sensor networks
- Distributed frameworks and middleware for the Internet of Things
- GPU, multicore, and many-core intelligent computing
- Intelligent high-performance architectures
- Context-aware intelligent computing
- Virtualization infrastructures for intelligent computing
- Bio-inspired and nature-inspired distributed computing

Organization and Management
- Autonomic and adaptive distributed computing
- Intelligent service composition and orchestration
- Self-organizing and adaptive distributed systems
- Emerging behaviors in complex distributed systems
- Intelligent integration of heterogeneous data and processes
- Methodologies for development of intelligent distributed systems and applications

Intelligent Distributed Knowledge Representation and Processing
- Information extraction and retrieval in distributed environments
- Knowledge integration and fusion from distributed sources
- Data mining and knowledge discovery in distributed environments
- Semantic and knowledge grids
- Ontologies and meta-data for describing heterogeneous resources and services
- Distributed fusion of sensor data streams

Networked Intelligence
- E-service and web intelligence
- Intelligence in mobile, ubiquitous and wearable computing
- Intelligence in peer-to-peer systems
- Intelligence in distributed and networked multimedia systems
- Security, privacy, trust and reputation

Intelligent Distributed Applications
- Distributed problem solving and decision making
- Intelligent applications in e-business/e-commerce, e-learning, e-health,
e-science, e-government, crisis management, smart grid
- Modeling, simulation and development of intelligent distributed systems
- Simulation of groups and crowds
- Intelligent data processing
- Intelligent robots

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 must have at most 10 pages length and must be formatted according to Springer
format for Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes (Latex only) available at:
