Scope


Dynamicity is a fundamental aspect of today's distributed applications. Large-scale systems and networks are now standard, yet designing, analyzing and taking into account their dynamicity raises many challenges.


The DYNAM workshop aims at fostering discussion on theoretical aspects of dynamicity among participants from different research areas like algorithm theory, distributed systems, networks and databases. The goal of DYNAM is to bring together researchers from such diverse fields of expertise.


Topics of interest cover all aspects of dynamicity, including, without being limited to:


  1. •    Large-scale dynamic distributed systems

  2. •    Modeling dynamic environment

  3. •    Distributed algorithms in dynamic networks

  4. •    Self-* dynamic computation

  5. •    Complexity measures and analysis of dynamic algorithms

  6. •    Performance modeling and prediction based on analytic approaches

  7. •    Application field of dynamicity: P2P, Sensor and Mobile networks, Social networks

  8. •    Fault-tolerance, reliability, availability in dynamic environment



The workshop is looking for contributions addressing research, ongoing work, ideas, concepts, and critical questions related to algorithmic and modeling aspects of dynamic computing. The final workshop program will include both talks presenting novel contributions and keynote presentations.



Submission


Submitted papers should consist of 2 pages including all figures, table and references. Submitted papers must be written in English and must be typeset using at least 10-point font and reasonable margins. The first page must include the title of the paper, author(s) names and affiliation and a list of keywords.


Submitted papers will be subject to a light review process to evaluate their originality, clarity, relevance, and, above all, their likelihood of generating discussion.


The papers must be submitted electronically via EasyChair:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dynam2011


Authors who cannot submit electronically must contact the DYNAM chairs at dynam2011@eaychair.org.
