ICDCS 2007 Call for Workshop Proposals

The ICDCS 2007 workshop chair invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the ICDCS 2007 conference.

The workshops are intended to provide opportunities to meet and discuss selected topics on Distributed Computing Systems. Members of the Distributed Computing Systems community are invited to submit workshop proposals for review. Workshops will be typically full day (10- 15 papers per day). There will be two days of workshops, on Monday June 25, 2007 and Friday June 29, 2007. The workshops are considered to be part of the overall ICDCS conference and as such are included as part of the overall conference registration.
