International Conference on Internet and Distributed Computing Systems (IDCS 2017)

“Health, Collaboration, Innovation, and Sustainability” are the main melody of our era. The Internet, including widespread use of mobile and wireless devices, has grown as a ubiquitous infrastructure to support the fast development of diversified services. The advents of the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, and big data are creating a new technology revolution, i.e. next generation of internet or industry 4.0. The integration of the digital world with the physical environment makes our world more intelligent and efficient. Large-scale networked intelligent systems require higher cooperation and interoperation of heterogeneous IoT platforms. Therefore, this conference focuses on emerging models, paradigms, technologies and novel applications related to Internet-based distributed systems, including Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, wireless sensor networks, next-generation collaborative systems, extreme-scale networked systems, and cloud-based big dada systems. The target audience includes researchers, PhD students and practitioners that have a general interest in the different aspects of the Internet and Distributed Computing Systems with a more specific focus on practical and theoretical aspects of the cyber-physical systems built with the integration of computer networks, distributed systems, wireless sensor technology and innovative human-computer interfaces. The conference also has a special interest in novel applications that facilitate the design, deployment and management in complex real-life systems, such as e-Health, transport and logistics, smart cities and manufacturing.
