students. Thank you!


One of the most distinguishing requirements upon Information and
Communication Technologies is today's ever-changing, highly open dynamic
environments in which large-scale ICT systems are placed to operate.
Challenges for ICT systems engineering immediately arise including, e.g.,
systems scalability, systems ultra-dependability, systems convergence
against uncertainty and emergence, and so forth. In recent years, emergence,
adaptation, self-organization, self-management, etc. have received extensive
interests in both academics and industries of software, computing and
communications.

As a timely response to these developing trends both in ICT academics and
industries, the 2007 International Conference on Complex Open Distributed
Systems (CODS’2007) aims to provide a focal forum for active researchers,
practitioners, developers, and industrial professionals and academics from
diversified domains and with diversified backgrounds to get together, to
share latest research achievements and practical experiences, to exchange
in-depth findings and innovative ideas, and in particular to harness the
greatest challenges and think seriously into the future.

We have been looking forward to seeing you at CODS'2007. Chengdu welcomes
you!
