NOTERE 2008 - 8th International Conference on New Technologies of Distributed
Systems

June 23-27 2008
Lyon, France

            *** All accepted papers will be included in ACM Digital Library ***
                    *** Proceedings will be printed with an ACM ISBN ***
     *** Best papers will be considered for publication in national and
international journals ***


The International Conference on New Technologies of Distributed Systems (NOTERE)
is a bilingual (French/English) forum for engineers and scientists in academia,
 industry and government to present the recent advances and latest research
result in the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed
system platforms, applications and architectures. Following the past
conferences in this series (Pau, Montreal, Paris, Saadia, Gatineau, Toulouse,
Marrakech), the 8th edition of
NOTERE will be Held in Lyon in France.


INVITED SPEAKERS
----------------

- M. Witold Litwin (Paris Dauphine University)
- M. Alain Leger (France Telecom R&D - Orange Labs)


SCOPE
-----------
Software has been evolving from pre-defined, monolithic, centralized
architectures to increasingly decentralized, distributed, dynamically composed
federations of components. New applications, such as global supply-chain
management and complex health-care systems, impose major research challenges in
integration, interoperability, discovery, negotiation, collaboration, and
optimization. Distributed and mobile collaboration technologies are beginning
to allow people to move across organizational boundaries and to interact within
and across organizations as well as communities, creating virtual communities
or so-called “social networks”.  These virtual systems require sophisticated
collaboration functionalities. Service-oriented architectures are emerging as a
possible solution to build smart networks and enable grid and on-demand
computing.  The fast evolution of wireless technologies drives demand to extend
interaction between users and mobile devices to the interaction with objects
and services in the everyday world, opening thus the opportunity for
context-aware and ubiquitous computing. Wireless Internet, mobile ad-hoc and
sensor
networks are seen as new platforms for future distributed and pervasive systems,
exacerbating in turn the problems of privacy and security. Software processes
are evolving from pre-specified sequential work-flows to decentralized and
multi-organization collaborative endeavors.
Business environments demand increased flexibility, dependability,
fault-tolerance, and autonomy of involved heterogeneous systems.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
----------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit original papers in any of the areas listed above.
Papers in English or French are solicited. Papers must respect the ACM
proceedings format. Word and Latex templates are provided at the conference Web
site. All papers must be submitted online in PDF or PS format.
The length of the paper must not exceed 12 pages (Long paper) and 6 pages (Short
paper). Electronic submission of abstracts is required. Submitted papers will
be
evaluated by three reviewers. Acceptance will be based on relevance, technical
soundness, originality, and clarity of presentation. At least one author of an
accepted paper is expected to attend the conference to present the paper. 
Selected papers from the conference will be considered for publication in an
national and international journals [to be specified shortly].
