Driven by the continuous growth in the power, intelligence and
openness of computer, communication and control technologies, possibilities
and opportunities for realizing highly efficient and dependable
business and control systems have been steadily increasing. Dynamically
changing social and economic situations demand next-generation systems
based on emerging technologies and applications. Such systems are
expected to have the characteristics of living systems composed
of largely autonomous and decentralized components. Such systems
are called Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ADS). After the successful
first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth International Symposium
on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ISADS) held in 1993 in Japan,
in 1995 in the USA, in 1997 in Germany, in 1999 in Japan, in 2001
in the USA and in 2003 in Italy, the 7th ISADS will be held in Chengdu,
China during April 4-6, 2005. While ISADS 2005 will primarily focus
on advancements and innovation in ADS concept, technologies and
applications related to Ubiquitous and Autonomous Computing, other
themes such as telecommunications and heterogeneous system and application
integration will also be included.
The ISADS 2005 committee invites papers and proposals
of workshops and panels on the topics of the symposium that will
foster interactions among researchers and practitioners in computer,
communication, management, control and other related fields from
academia, industry and government.
The scope of discussions on ADS shall include,
but not be limited to:
* Computer and communication architectures / intelligent network
/ Internet;
* Heterogeneous distributed information / control systems;
* Mobile agent /computer-supported cooperative works;
* Distributed software development and maintenance;
* Assurance, fault tolerance and on-line expansion;
* Object management architecture /design pattern / application
frameworks;
* Emergent control and robotic systems;
* Autonomic Computing;
* Sensor Networks;
* Adhoc Networks;
* Novel applications: electronic commerce and government, telecommunications,
information service systems, manufacturing systems, real-time
event management, office automation, traffic and transportation
control, logistics systems.
