http://www.opodis.net


Scope:
OPODIS is an open forum for the exchange of state-of-theart knowledge on distributed
computing and systems among researchers from around the world. This conference is
the 14th in a series of annual conferences. Following the tradition of the previous
events, its program will be composed of high-quality contributed and invited papers.
The program committee is soliciting original and significant research contributions
to the theory, specification, design and implementation of distributed systems,
including:
- communication and synchronization protocols

- distributed cooperative computing
- embedded systems
- fault-tolerance, reliability, availability
- grid and cluster computing
- location- and context-aware systems
- mobile agents and autonomous robots
- mobile computing and networks
- peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks
- complexity and lower bounds
- performance analysis of distributed systems
- real-time systems
- security issues in distributed computing and systems
- sensor networks: theory and practice
- specification and verification of distributed systems
- testing and experimentation with distributed systems


Important dates:
Submission deadline: July 25, 2010
Acceptance notification: September 2, 2010
Camera-ready copy due: September 22, 2010
