Self-stabilizing, self-organizing, and autonomic systems<br>
Wireless, mobile, sensor and ad-hoc networks<br>
Fault tolerance, reliability, availability<br>
Game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing<br>
Specification, verification, and testing: tools, methodologies<br>
Networks: protocols, architectures, services, applications<br>
Multiprocessor and multicore architectures and algorithms<br>

Submission:<br>
Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines<br>
on the conference web page (to be announced). Every submission<br>
must be in English, in .ps or .pdf format, and begin with a cover page<br>
(not a cover letter) including: (1) title, (2) authors’ names and affiliations,<br>
(3) contact author’s postal and email address, and telephone number,<br>
(4) one paragraph abstract of the paper, (5) indication of whether this is<br>
a regular paper or a brief announcement, (6) indication of whether the<br>
paper is eligible for best student paper award.<br>
<br>
A submission for a regular presentation must report on original research<br>
that has not previously appeared, and has not been concurrently submitted<br>
to a journal or conference with published proceedings. Any overlap with a<br>
published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated. A regular<br>
submission must not exceed 10 single-column pages using at least 11 point<br>
font on letter paper (excluding cover page and references). Authors are<br>
expected to include all the ideas necessary for an expert to verify the central<br>
claims in the paper. If necessary, the details may appear in a clearly marked<br>
appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program committee.<br>
<br>
A brief announcement submission must not exceed 3 pages in the same format.<br>
It is permissible for the material in brief announcements to be published in<br>
other conferences.<br>
<br>
Submissions not conforming to these rules and papers outside of the scope of<br>
the conference will be rejected without consideration.<br>
<br>
If requested by the authors on the cover page, a regular submission that is not<br>
selected for a regular presentation can be considered for the brief announcement<br>
format. Such a request will not affect consideration of the paper for<br>
a regular presentation.<br>
<br>
Publication:<br>
The proceedings will be published as a volume in the ARCoSS Springer Lecture<br>
Notes in Computer Science series. Accepted papers must be submitted in the<br>
LNCS format. Participants will receive a copy of the final proceedings.<br>
<br>
Awards:<br>
Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper.<br>
To be eligible for the best student paper award at least one of the paper<br>
authors must be a full-time student at the time of submission.<br>
<br>
Workshops and tutorials:<br>
Proposals for satellite workshops and tutorials are welcome.<br>
