Call for papers: 2nd International Workshop on Real Overlays And
Distributed Systems
(ROADS '07 Warsaw Workshop)
July 11th – 12th, 2007    Warsaw, Poland

The 2nd International Workshop on Real Overlays And Distributed Systems
(ROADS) will bring together people who are interested in exploring the
new challenges of building overlay networks and distributed networked
systems. The ROADS workshop series is a place to share new ideas,
experiences, and work in progress.

The Real in ROADS refers to systems that are run on a real platform for
a period of time.  Such systems might be research projects, teaching
exercises, or more permanent services, but they should address technical
issues of actual overlays and distributed systems. We also welcome works
that explore the extent to which results obtained from simulation (e.g.,
ModelNet) or testbed deployments (e.g., EmuLab) retain validity when
transferred to more representative network environments. The ROADS
workshop series emphasis is on overlays and distributed systems that are
designed to be spread out over a large number of sites (e.g., PlanetLab).

The workshop program will include invited speakers and presentations of
peer-reviewed papers. Authors are invited to submit an extended
abstract. This can be for an eventual technical paper, a demonstration,
a work in progress, or for an eventual position paper. Work should
describe a new problem, advocate a specific solution, or report on
actual experience.

PDF format to:
              roads­[log in to unmask]

In this e-mail, please state whether the submission concerns a technical
paper, a demonstration, a work in progress, or a position paper.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit either a final
version of the extended abstract or a five to ten page paper, at their
discretion.

Presentations: Presentations will be 30 minutes in length, including
time for questions. Please send your slides in either PDF or PowerPoint
format.
Electronic versions of the papers and presentation slides will be made
available online before the workshop. There will be no printed proceedings.

simultaneously to other publication venues; however, the workshop
requires non-exclusive publications rights to the proposals, full
papers, and presentation slides such that they can be posted online to
the ROADS website.
