CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS

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.

IDC'15 Special Sessions will be a very useful tool in order to 
complement the regular program with new or emerging topics of particular 
interest in the field of Intelligent Distributed systems. Special 
Sessions that emphasize on multi-disciplinary and transversal aspects, 
as well as cutting-edge topics are especially encouraged and welcome.

All papers accepted for publication in the Special Sessions will be 
published in the IDC 2015 proceedings published by Springer in the 
Computational Intelligence.
