Title: Twenty-Third Annual ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing Deadline: 15-Feb-2004 Webpage: http://www.podc.org/podc2004/ Conference: July 25-28, 2004 Location: St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada Synopsis: PODC continues to broaden the conference, and solicits papers on all areas of distributed systems. We encourage submissions dealing with any aspect of distributed computing, including theory and practice, systems, design, specification, verification, implementation, application, and properties of distributed systems. The common goal is to shed light on the principles of distributed computing.

This year, we have a special track to emphasize the area of Algorithms and Data Structures for the Internet. We also continue to actively seek papers in areas emphasized in recent PODCs, such as the implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of real systems and the intersection of security and distributed computing.

Title: Eleventh International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems Deadline: 05-Mar-2004 Webpage: http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/asplos2004 Conference: October 9-13, 2004 Location: Boston, MA, USA Synopsis: ASPLOS is a multi-disciplinary conference that seeks cross-fertilizing research in areas of hardware, architecture, compilers, operating systems, networking, and applications. It has captured some of the major computer systems innovations of the past 15 years. Today multi-disciplinary research is becoming even more important, as boundaries between hardware/software and local/network computing blur, as the form and capabilities of computing devices becomes ever more varied, and as the user-base and applications expand exponentially. Like its predecessors, the eleventh ASPLOS conference will focus on ground-breaking multi-disciplinary research. In addition, the program committee welcomes research papers on a wide range of non-traditional topics that emphasize the multi-disciplinary aspects of their work. ____________________________________________________________

Title: Pervasive Computing and Ambient Intelligence -- Mobility, Ubiquity and Wearables Get Together Deadline: 12-Mar-2004 Webpage: http://www.gsd.inesc-id.pt/~pjpf/CFP-Ambient-Intelligence.htm Conference: Special Issue for Computers & Graphics (Elsevier) Synopsis: High quality original manuscripts are sought for a special issue of Computers & Graphics on Pervasive Computing and Ambient Intelligence -- Mobility, Ubiquity and Wearables Get Together.

Ambient Intelligence is a keyword that suggests an ambitious vision of the future: a world in which computers adapt to people, instead of being the other way round, as it happens today. This vision requires high quality research in a large number of computer science topics that range from hardware specific devices and operating systems to advanced multimodal user interfaces. (More details in the web page). ____________________________________________________________

Title: Building and Evaluating Ubiquitous System Software Deadline: 15-Mar-2004 Webpage: http://www.computer.org/pervasive/edcal0704.htm Conference: Synopsis: IEEE Pervasive Computing magazine invites articles relating to system software for ubiquitous computing environments. We welcome papers that provide new software paradigms or algorithms, or relate implementation experience that other researchers can build upon. Successful submissions will clearly address an explicit ubiquitous system model and problem statement, which the authors relate to existing research. They will evaluate the proposed solution and so contribute to our knowledge of software for these systems in general. ____________________________________________________________

Title: 6th International Symposium on Distributed Objects and Applications (DOA 2004) Deadline: 30-May-2004 Webpage: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf Conference: October 25-29 2004 Location: Cyprus Synopsis: If you are a researcher or practitioner who is building innovative distributed object systems or applications, consider contributing a practice report or research paper to this event. Existing distributed object systems such as COM, CORBA, and EJB have been generally successful, but we're still evolving them, and applying lessons learned into areas such as Web Services, CORBA Components, J2EE, and .NET. All these approaches aim to provide openness, reliability, scalability, distribution transparency, security, ease of development, and support for heterogeneity between applications and platforms. Significant research and development is required to continue to broaden the applicability of distributed object systems.
