SCOPE

OPODIS is an open forum for the exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge on distributed computing and systems among researchers from around the world. This conference is the 16th 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 algorithms
- distributed cooperative computing
- distributed event processing
- fault-tolerance, reliability, availability
- grid, cluster, and cloud computing
- mobile agents and autonomous robots
- peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks
- performance analysis of distributed systems
- real-time systems
- security issues in distributed computing and systems
- sensor networks: theory and practice
- social networks: modeling, analysis, and synthesis
- specification and verification of distributed systems
- testing and experimentation with distributed systems
- theory of distributed computing
- wireless and mobile computing

SUBMISSION

Submitted papers must be written in English and must not exceed 12 letter-size pages using 11 point font and reasonable margins, including figures, tables and references. The first page must include the title of the paper, author(s) names and affiliation, an abstract, address for correspondence, fax number, email, and a list of keywords.
