=====================================================

The 1st IEEE International Workshop on Distributed and Intelligent Systems
DistInSys 2021

Athens, Greece, September 5-8, 2021

https://fcrlab.unime.it/calls/distinsys2021

in conjunction with the Twenty-Sixth IEEE Symposium on Computers and 
Communications (IEEE ISCC)

=====================================================

The digital environment that we populate is becoming more complex every 
day. Several devices are now connected to each other and to the 
Internet, generating large data volume moved back and forth between edge 
and data centers and processed everywhere. This growth is not about to 
stop, and we have to be ready for cutting-edge technologies when they 
become cheaper, such as wearable and robotics.

The main solution is decomposing systems into smaller, distributed, 
efficient, intelligent, and autonomous units responsible for local 
decision-making and control, letting them explore knowledge stored 
locally and communicate among themselves only when needed. That solution 
opens issues when discussing the systems design, data and knowledge 
exchange, analysis of proper and optimal coupling of system parts as 
well as integration of subsystems introducing a completely diverse 
nature into the overall framework.

This workshop aims to collect original papers in the field of 
distributed systems (i.e., distributed problem solving, orchestration of 
data and services over Cloud and Edge Computing) and intelligent systems 
(i.e., swarm intelligence, multi-agent systems, and distributed 
artificial intelligence). Authors are encouraged to contribute by 
presenting new studies, algorithms, and use cases. Submitted papers must 
be original and not currently be under review by another conference or 
journal.

PAPER SUBMISSION:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit full papers written in English, with a 
paper length of up to six (6) printed pages for regular papers, or up to 
four (4) printed pages for short papers, including figures, tables & 
references in IEEE double-column format (IEEE standard conference 
templates). Submissions should contain original material and not be 
previously published nor currently submitted for consideration 
elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed for scientific quality by the 
Technical Program Committee.

Manuscript templates for IEEE conference proceedings can be found at the 
following link
https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

All paper submissions must be made through EasyChair using the following 
link: 
[easychair.org/conferences/?conf=distinsys2021](https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=distinsys2021)

Paper submission implies the willingness of at least one author to 
register at the regular rate (non-student) and present the paper. The 
Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2021 Proceedings, and they 
will be indexed SI, dblp, and Scopus and will be submitted for inclusion 
in IEEE Xplore Digital Library.


BEST PAPER AWARD:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A "Best Paper Award" Certificate will be conferred on the author(s) of a 
paper presented at the workshop, selected by the Chairs based on 
scientific significance, originality, and outstanding technical quality 
of the paper, as also assessed by the evaluations of the members of the 
Program Committee.
