******************************************************

International Workshop on Internet and Distributed Computing Systems (IDCS'08)
In conjunction with
11th IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (ICCIT 2008)
December 25-27, 2008, Khulna, Bangladesh

In the recent years, the emergence of Web as a ubiquitous platform for innovations has laid the foundation for the rapid growth of the Internet. The use of mobile and wireless devices such as PDA, laptop, and cell phones for accessing the Internet has paved the ways for related technologies to flourish through recent developments. In addition, the popularity of sensor networks is promoting better integration of the digital world with physical environment. In this workshop we are interested in receiving innovative papers on emerging technologies related to Internet and distributed systems to support the effective design and efficient implementation of high-performance computer networks. The target audience includes researchers and industry practitioners those are interested in different aspects of the Internet and distributed systems, with a particular focus on the practical experiences with the design and implementation of related technologies as well as their theoretical perspectives.

Areas of interest
--------------------------
The areas of interest are the following (although this list should not be treated as exclusive):
* Advances in Internet architectures and protocols
* Autonomic computing
* Computational economy for distributed systems
* Content delivery networks
