CALL FOR PAPERS

5th International Workshop on Dependable Network Computing and Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2012), to be held in conjunction with the 31st IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS 2012), Irvine, California, USA, Oct. 8-11, 2012

Web site: http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/iwoungan/DNCMS2012/

1. Scope Due to the strong growth in mobile devices, networked embedded systems, wireless sensors, and the ever increasing information computing power offered by computing clusters and information services over stationary networks, the integration of network computing and mobile systems presents new challenges, especially with respect to the dependability of integrated applications: accepted measures of availability, costs, and quality of service for high-bandwidth, high- quality stationary systems, have to be re-thought, facing possibly new dependability paradigms for cheap, resource restricted, unreliable mobile systems with low-bandwidth communication facilities, being embedded and subject to the conditions in the physical world. This workshop solicits papers addressing dependability issues related to the design, analysis, and implementation, of infrastructures, systems, architectures, algorithms and protocols that deal with network computing and mobile and ubiquitous systems.

Topics include, but are not limited to: • Wireless communication protocols and mobile networks • Sensor networks • Architectures and middleware for mobile device integration • Location-based computing and data analysis • Intelligent sensors in networked environments • Cluster computing, ubiquitous computing, and grid-Computing for mobile applications • Distributed data mining for mobile applications • Ubiquitous Knowledge Discovery • Applications such as cooperative mobile robots, embedded applications • Hardware security methods for mobile applications • Security methods for network computing and mobile systems • Intelligent mobile systems ?

2. Paper submission DNCMS 2012 is using the EasyChair Conference Management System to manage paper submissions process. In order to submit your paper, you must first create a EasyChair account if you do not already have one, using:

https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=dncms2012

The EasyChair system will then e-mail you your password. Then you can login to EasyChair using the password you have received by email. EasyChair will provide you with a submissions homepage where you can register your paper submission to DNCMS 2012, and make appropriate changes later on when necessary before the prescribed deadline. For more information, please check the workshop page at:

http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/iwoungan/DNCMS2012/

Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and their comments will be provided to the authors. If accepted, the paper will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and distributed at the Symposium, provided that at least one of its authors registers by the early registration deadline.

3. Important Deadlines • Submission deadline: April 02, 2012 • Author notification: June 20, 2012 • Camera-ready: July 16, 2012 • Workshops: October 8, 2012
