Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems 7th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference, DAIS 2007, Paphos, Cyprus, June 6-8, 2007, Proccedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems, DAIS 2007, held in Paphos, Cyprus in June 2007. The DAIS conference was held as a joint event in federation with the 9th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems (FMOODS 2007) and the 9th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages (Coordination 2007).

The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 97 submissions. The papers address current research in context-awareness, adaptation, mobility, distributed applications and peer-to-peer computing, all of which relate to the sustainability of distributed applications and integrated systems. The papers are organized in topical sections on context-awareness, distributed applications, adaptation, peer-to-peer, and mobility.

Context-Awareness I.- The Context-Dependent Role Model.- Integrating Facts and Beliefs to Model and Reason About Context.- Situation Specification and Realization in Rule-Based Context-Aware Applications.- Distributed Applications I.- Observability and Controllability of Wireless Software Components.- Service Level Agreement Management in Federated Virtual Organizations.- Adaptation I.- Construction and Execution of Adaptable Applications Using an Aspect-Oriented and Model Driven Approach.- Component Adaptation in Contemporary Execution Environments.- Managing Distributed Adaptation of Mobile Applications.- Peer-to-Peer.- DOLCLAN – Middleware Support for Peer-to-Peer Distributed Shared Objects.- Peer-to-Peer Based QoS Registry Architecture for Web Services.- Mobility I.- Migration in CORBA Component Model.- A Serialisation Based Approach for Processes Strong Mobility.- Parallel State Transfer in Object Replication Systems.- Distributed Applications II.- MARS: An Agent-Based Recommender System for the Semantic Web.- An HTML Fragments Based Approach for Portlet Interoperability.- Context-Awareness II.- Scalable Processing of Context Information with COSMOS.- Experiences from Developing a Distributed Context Management System for Enabling Adaptivity.- Towards Context-Aware Web Applications.- Adaptation II.- A Flexible Architecture for Enforcing and Composing Policies in a Service-Oriented Environment.- Managing Concern Interactions in Middleware.- An Improved Genetic Algorithm for Web Services Selection.- Mobility II.- A UML Profile for Modeling Mobile Information Systems.- A Planning Method for Component Placement in Smart Item Environments Using Heuristic Search.- A Generic Infrastructure for Decentralised Dynamic Loading of Platform-Specific Code.
