March 30 - April 3, 2003

Hyatt Orlando Hotel
Orlando, Florida

The 2003 Advanced Simulation Technologies Conference (ASTC 2003) will feature the conference on Design, Analysis and Simulation of Distributed Systems (DASD 2003). The conference is devoted to all kinds of distributed and Internet-based systems.

Major topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

Web Computing and Information Retrieval
Efficient Distributed Simulation
Distributed Systems
Performance Evaluation
Petri Nets and other models
Self-Organization and Adaption
User Interfaces and Cooperative Systems

Special Areas of Interest:

Web and P2P-computing
Metacomputing, cluster and grid computing approaches
Resource management, search and location
Security and safety
Global information infrastructure and global computing
Communication protocols
Mobile agents and distributed objects
Data management, distributed file systems
Communities
Self-organization and learning in distributed systems
Modeling of distributed systems including analysis and simulation
Evaluation of hardware and software performance
Traffic estimation for communication networks of distributed systems including multicast traffic patterns and fault tolerance
Theoretical aspects of analysis and simulation of web systems
Numerical methods for performance approximation
Aspects of real-time systems
Design and implementation approaches for complex systems using Petri nets
New formal concepts and methods for validation and testing based on Petri nets
Petri net simulation tools
Applications: scientific computing, telemedicine, multimedia, e-commerce, etc.
Semantic Web
Web service design and architectures
Verification of web services and infrastructure
Case Studies, Best practices and Lessons Learned Technologies, like .Net, JXTA, XML
Application oriented methods and tools

The goal of the conference is to encourage innovation in design, analysis and simulation of distributed systems. This includes new technologies as well as new methodologies, new concepts and experience reports. DASD 2003 will promote a high quality exchange of ideas and information between universities, industry, and national laboratories supporting the development in the design, analysis and simulation area of next generation distributed systems which can provide solutions to current scientific and technological challenges.
