CALL FOR PAPERS

4th International Workshop on Dependable Network Computing and Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2011), to be held in conjunction with SRDS 2011 October 4, 2011, Madrid, Spain Web site: http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/iwoungan/DNCMS2011/

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, 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 Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 10 pages, papers on evolving research and work in progress should be no longer than 5 pages, following the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings. The font size must be no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches).

All the submissions should be made through EasyChair. The submission page for DNCMS 2011 is: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dncms2011

In order to submit your paper, you must first create an EasyChair account if you do not have one already, using https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi. The EasyChair system will then e-mail you your password. Then you can login to EasyChair using the password you have received by email.

Accepted papers 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. The papers will also be made available online from the Workshop web pages.

3. Important Dates: • Submission of papers: June 10, 2011 • Acceptance notification: June 24, 2011 • Submission of camera-ready papers: July 8, 2011 • Workshops date: October 4, 2011
