  • Self-stabilizing, self-organizing, and autonomous systems
  • Wireless, mobile, sensor and ad-hoc networks
  • Fault tolerance, reliability, availability
  • Game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
  • Specification, verification, and testing: tools, methodologies
  • Networks: protocols, architectures, services, applications
  • Multiprocessor and multicore parallel architectures and algorithms
  • System on chip and network on chip architectures
  • Security in distributed computing, cryptographic protocols
  • Distributed computing issues in the Internet and the Web
