ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
====================

The conference program presents the state of the art in research
concerning distributed and interoperable systems. In recent
years, distributed applications have indeed gained a practical
and widely-known footing in everyday  computing. Use of new
communication technologies have brought up divergent application
areas, including mobile computing, inter-enterprise collaborations,
and  ubiquitous services, just to name a few. New challenges
include the need for service-oriented architectures, autonomous and
self-managing systems, peer-to-peer systems, grid computing, sensor
networks, semantic enhancements, and adaptivity and dynamicity of
distribution constellations.

Following the evolution of the field, DAIS 2006 focuses on architectures,
models, technologies and platforms for interoperable, scalable and adaptable
systems that are related to the latest trends towards service orientation and
self-* properties. The papers to be presented at DAIS 2006 cover methodological
aspects, tools and language of building adaptable distributed and interoperable
services, fault tolerance and dependability, peer-to-peer systems, mobility
issues, web services applications and performance issues and composition,
semantic web and semantic integration, and context- and location-aware
applications.

This year, the technical program of DAIS drew from 99 submitted papers,
among which 10 were explicitly submitted as work-in-progress papers. From
these, 21 regular and 5 work-in-progress papers were selected for inclusion in
the proceedings. The DAIS 2006 conference is sponsored by IFIP (International
Federation for Information Processing) and it was the sixth conference in the
DAIS series of events organized by IFIP Working Group 6.1.

DAIS'06 will be held in the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy, colocated
with the 8th IFIP Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems
(FMOODS'06) and Coordination'06. Attendants of DAIS'06 will have the
opportunity to attend the sessions of the two colocated conferences.
