Symposium: September 24-26, 2012<br>
<br>
Intelligent computing covers a hybrid palette of methods and
techniques derived from classical artificial intelligence,
computational intelligence, multi-agent systems a.o. Distributed
computing studies systems that contain loosely-coupled components
running on different networked computers and that communicate and
coordinate their actions by message transfer. The emergent field of
intelligent distributed computing is expected to pose special
challenges of adaptation and fruitful combination of results of both
areas with a great impact on the development of new generation
intelligent distributed information systems. The aim of this
symposium is to bring together researchers involved in intelligent
distributed computing to allow cross-fertilization and synergy of
ideas and to enable advancement of researches in the field.<br>
<br>
The symposium welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all
aspects of intelligent distributed computing ranging from concepts
and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative
applications. Papers acceptance and publication will be judged based
on their relevance to the symposium theme, clarity of presentation,
originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions. <br>
