SSS 2011 - Call for Participation

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.

- SSS 2011 -

* CALL FOR PARTICIPATION *

13th International Symposium on
Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems

October 10-12, 2011
Grenoble, France
(Previously in Shinagawa (Tokyo), Japan)

http://www.jaist.ac.jp/sss2011/
******************************************************************************

The Symposium is a prestigious international forum for researchers and
practitioners in the design and development of fault-tolerant distributed
systems with self-* properties, such as self-stabilizing, self-configuring,
self-organizing, self-managing, self-repairing, self-healing, self-optimizing,
self-adaptive, and self-protecting. Research in distributed systems is now
at a crucial point in its evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic
systems such as peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks,
mobile ad hoc networks, robotic networks, etc. Moreover, new applications such
as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health and robotics,
aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process control, etc. have
joined the traditional applications of distributed systems.

The conference provides a wide spectrum of topics, covered in the following
tracks:
* Ad-Hoc, Sensor, and Dynamic Networks
* Fault-Tolerance and Dependable Systems
* Overlay and Peer-to-Peer Networks
* Safety and Verification
* Security
* Self-Organizing and Autonomic Networks
* Self-Stabilization

Registration information is available athttp://www.jaist.ac.jp/sss2011/
