International Symposium on Intelligent and Distributed Computing - IDC'2007
===========================================================================
October 18-20, Craiova, Romania

Call for Papers
===============
Intelligent computing is a quite mature field of information and
communication technology covering a hybrid palette of methods and
techniques derived from classical artificial intelligence, computational
intelligence, multi-agent systems a.o. Intelligent computing is generally
known to be computationally intensive from the point of view of resources
required: time, memory, bandwidth. As this is usually thought to be a
drawback, distributed computing is expected to give an impetus to its
practical applications. Moreover, intelligent techniques have also proved
their usefulness to core distributed computing technologies like: planning
& scheduling, load balancing, replication, resource allocation and
management, etc. Therefore, the emergent field of intelligent and
distributed computing is expected to pose new challenges of adaptation and
fruitful combination of both areas. The aim of this symposium is to bring
together researchers involved in intelligent and 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 and 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, broadly understood:
- Intelligent service composition and orchestration
- E-service and Web intelligence
- Multi-agent systems
- Information extraction and retrieval in distributed and environments
- Data mining and knowledge discovery in distributed environments
- Semantic and knowledge grids
- Intelligent integration of data and processes
- Distributed problem solving
- Ontologies for describing resources and services
- Autonomic and adaptive computing
- Intelligence in mobile and ubiquitous computing
- Intelligence in cooperative information systems, groupware and
workflows, virtual enterprizes
- Intelligent applications in e-business/e-commerce, e-learning, e-health,
e-science, e-government, .....
- Your Topic
Paper Submission and Publication
================================
All accepted papers will be included in the Symposium (Post-)Proceedings,
which will be published by Springer as part of one of their series Studies
in Computational Intelligence or Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing.
Papers should have at most 10 pages length and must be formatted according
to Springer format. Submissions and reviews will be automatically handled
by a system provided by the organizers.
Extended versions of the best papers accepted and presented at this
symposium may be considered for publication in a Special Issue of an
international journal.
