---------------------------------- Call for papers: 2nd International Workshop on Dependable Network Computing and Mobile Systems (DNCMS 2009)

to be held in conjunction with SRDS 2009, Niagara Falls, New York, U.S.A., Sept. 27, 2009 http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/iwoungan/DNCMS009/Call_for_Papers.html

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/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

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: To submit your paper, please visit the SRDS 2009 submission instructions: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/srds2009/submission.html

IMPORTANT DATES: * Submission due: June 20, 2009 * Decision due: July 25, 2009 * Camera-ready due: August 10, 2009 * Workshop date: September 27, 2009

All accepted papers will be included in the symposium proceedings, which will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.
