The 8th IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and
Interoperable Systems (DAIS) is part of the federated conferences
DisCoTec (Distributed Computing Techniques), together with the 10th
International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages
(COORDINATION) and the 10th IFIP International Conference Formal Methods
for Open Object-based Distributed Systems (FMOODS). It will be organised
by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Oslo, Norway.



OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE:

Established in 1997, the DAIS series of conferences aims to provide an
integrated forum for research on all aspects of distributed applications
and interoperable systems. DAIS 2008 conference themes include, but are
not limited, to:

innovative distributed applications in the areas of
- enterprise computing
- mobile, grid and peer-to-peer computing
- context-aware, ubiquitous and pervasive computing
- distributed applications cutting across the above areas
  models and concepts supporting dist. applications in the areas of
- sustainability
- adaptability
- evolution
- ecosystems combining sustainability, adaptability, and evolution
  middleware supporting distributed applications in the areas of
- pervasive and location-based services
- autonomic applications and systems
- context-aware, adaptive applications
- reconfigurable and self-managing applications
- quality of service-aware applications
- intelligent mobile systems
  evolution of service-oriented applications
- enterprise-wide integration
- global integration
- semantic interoperability and semantic web services
- application management
  software engineering of distributed applications
- domain-specific modelling languages
- model evolution
- model-driven software adaptation, testing and validation
