*****************Call for Papers *******************

Design, Analysis and Simulation of Distributed Systems (DASD 2003)

Part of the 2003 Advanced Simulation Technologies Conference (ASTC'03)

Co-located with the SISO 2003 Spring SIW (www.sisostds.org)

March 30 - April 03, 2003

Hyatt Orlando Hotel

Orlando, Florida



The 2003 Advanced Simulation Technologies Conference (ASTC 2003) will
feature the conference on Design, Analysis and Simulation of Distributed
Systems(DASD 2003). The conference is devoted to all kinds of
distributed and Internet- based systems. The main topics cover (but are
not limited to):



_

Web Computing and Information Retrieval

_

Efficient Distributed Simulation

_

Distributed Systems

_

Performance Evaluation

_

Petri Nets and other models

_

Self- Organization and Adaption

_

User Interfaces and Cooperative 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 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

_

Web and P2P- computing

_

Metacomputing, cluster and grid computing approaches

_

Resource management, search and location

_
