-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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
- Virtualization infrastructures for intelligent computing
- Bio-inspired and nature-inspired distributed computing
- Context-aware intelligent computing

Organization and Management
- Autonomic and adaptive distributed computing
