Tenth International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralised Systems, Kobe, Japan

The Tenth International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralised Systems will take place from 29 June to 1 July 2011 in Kobe, Japan.

Opportunities and challenges for realising highly complex, efficient and dependable business and control systems have been steadily increasing. This trend has been driven by the continuous growth in the power, intelligence, adaptiveness and openness of technologies applied in computing, communication and control systems.

Dynamically changing social and economic situations are leading to the development of the next-generation of systems. Based on adaptive and reusable technologies and applications, they are expected to have the characteristics of living systems composed of largely autonomous and decentralised components. These systems are now being grouped under the general term of 'autonomous decentralised systems' (ADS).

The event programme will consist of a range of forums, speeches, technical sessions, workshops and poster sessions. Expected topics will include:
- computer and communication architectures;
- autonomous and decentralised services;
- distributed and collaborative development, test and maintenance, and development infrastructure of high-quality software systems;
- ad-hoc networks and sensor networks;
- advanced network infrastructures and internetworking;
- emergent control and robotic systems;
- heterogeneous distributed information and control systems;
- model-driven development and applications composition;
- object management architecture, design patterns, application frameworks;
- service-oriented architecture, design patterns, and application frameworks;
- web services and web-based application composition;
- novel applications.For further information, please visit: http://www.isads2011.info.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp/(opens in new window)
