The 9th IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and
Interoperable Systems (DAIS) is part of the federated conferences
DisCoTec (Distributed Computing Techniques), together with the 11th
International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages
(COORDINATION) and the IFIP International Conference Formal Methods
for Distributed Systems (FMOODS/FORTE). The DisCoTec conferences jointly
cover the complete spectrum of distributed computing subjects ranging
from theoretical foundations to formal specification techniques to
practical considerations. The event will be hosted by the Faculty of
Sciences of the University of Lisbon.


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. This includes methods, techniques, and system
infrastructures needed to design, build, operate, evaluate, and manage
modern distributed applications in any kind of application environments
and scenarios. DAIS 2009 conference themes include, but are not limited, to:

Innovative distributed applications in the areas of
        - Cloud and enterprise computing
        - Very large scale and peer-to-peer computing
        - Mobile, context-aware, and pervasive computing
        - Sensor networks and ad-hoc networks

    Models and concepts supporting distributed applications with respect
    to
        - Sustainability
        - Dependability and resilience
        - Evolution
        - Energy efficiency

    Middleware supporting distributed applications in the areas of
        - Autonomic and resilient systems
        - Mobile systems
        - Context- and QoS-aware systems

    Evolution of service-oriented applications
        - Enterprise-wide and global integration
        - Semantic interoperability
        - Application management

    Software engineering of distributed applications
        - Domain-specific modelling languages
        - Model-driven software development, testing, validation, and
          adaptation
        - Model evolution
        - Software architecture and patterns
