Goal and Topics of DASD 2007
****************************

The 2007 Summer Simulation Multiconference (SummerSim'07) and the Summer 
Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC'07) will feature the 5th conference 
on Design, Analysis, and Simulation of Distributed Systems (DASD 2007). 
The conference is devoted to distributed and complex systems.

The goal of the conference is to encourage innovation in design, 
analysis and simulation of distributed systems. This includes new 
technologies as well as new methodologies, new concepts and experience 
reports. DASD 2007 will promote a high quality exchange of ideas and 
information between universities, industry, and national laboratories 
supporting the development in the design, analysis and simulation area 
of next generation distributed systems which can provide solutions to 
current scientific and technological challenges.


Special Areas of Interest (but not limited to)
**********************************************

     * Modeling, Simulation and Evaluation
           o Modeling and performance evaluation of hardware and software
           o Petri nets, Markov chains, queuing theory, UML
           o Formal concepts and methods for validation and testing
           o System on chip, multicore systems and embedded systems
           o Reconfigurable systems and complex systems
           o Numerical methods for performance approximation
           o Traffic estimation for communication networks of
             distributed systems
           o Applications, tools, simulation languages

     * Self-Organization and Distributed Systems
           o Scalability and load balancing
           o Data management, distributed file systems
           o Self-Stabilization and learning in distributed systems
           o Fault tolerance, trust and security
           o Structuring and topological aspects
           o Strategy learning and benchmarking
           o Network building games and strategies

     * Pervasive System Concepts
           o P2P, cluster and grid computing approaches for simulation
           o Semantic Web and P2P KM systems
           o Resource management, search and location
           o Protocols, algorithms and techniques to support
             semantic interoperability
           o Role of ontologies
           o Location- and context-aware environments
           o Mobile and ubiquitous P2P

present their work.

The best contributed paper will be given an award. A selected group of 
full papers will be published in the special issue of Simulation Journal 
(SCS).

Please submit papers in PDF or PostScript with the authors' complete 
addresses, phone, fax, and e-mail for consideration. Papers should be 
submitted electronically to
