=======================================================

The digital environment that we populate is becoming more complex every
day. Several devices are now connected to each other and to the Internet,
generating large data volume moved back and forth between edge and data
centers, and processed everywhere. This growth is not about to stop and we
have to be ready for cutting-edge technologies when they become cheaper,
such as wearable and robotics.

The main solution is decomposing systems into smaller, distributed,
efficient, intelligent, and autonomous units responsible for local decision
making and control, let them explore knowledge that is stored locally and
communicate among themselves only when needed. That solution opens issues
when discussing the systems design, data and knowledge exchange, analysis
of proper and optimal coupling of system parts as well as integration of
subsystems introducing a completely diverse nature into the overall
framework.

This workshop aims to collect original papers in the field of distributed
systems (i.e. distributed problem solving, orchestration of data and
services over Cloud and Edge Computing) and intelligent systems (i.e swarm
intelligence, multi-agent systems, and distributed artificial
intelligence). Authors are encouraged to contribute by presenting new
studies, algorithms, and use cases. Submitted papers must be original and
not currently be under review by another conference or journal.

PAPER SUBMISSION:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit full papers written in English, with a paper
length up to six (6) printed pages for regular papers, or up to four (4)
printed pages for short papers, including figures, tables & references in
IEEE double-column format (IEEE standard conference templates). Submissions
should contain original material and not be previously published, nor
currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. All papers will be
reviewed for scientific quality by the technical Program Committee.

Manuscript templates for IEEE conference proceedings can be found at the
following link
https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

All paper submissions must be done through EasyChair using the following
link: [
easychair.org/conferences/?conf=distinsys2021](https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=distinsys2021)

Paper submission implies the willingness of at least one author to
register, at the regular rate (non-student), and present the paper. The
Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2021 Proceedings, they will
be indexed SI, dblp and Scopus and and will be submitted for inclusion in
IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Best papers presented at the workshop will be selected and the
corresponding authors will be invited to submit an extended version of
their papers for possible publications in one of the following Special
Issues:
- https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/SIECS, MDPI Sensors

BEST PAPER AWARD:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A "Best Paper Award" Certificate will be conferred on the author(s) of a
paper presented at the workshop, selected by the Chairs based on scientific
significance, originality and outstanding technical quality of the paper,
as assessed also by the evaluations of the members of the Program Committee.
