This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Intelligent Technology, ICDCIT 2022, held in Bhubaneswar, India, in January 20212. The 11 full papers presented together with 4 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. There are also 4 invited papers included. The papers were organized in topical sections named: invited papers, distributed computing and intelligent technology.

The present book brings together experience, current work, and promising future trends associated with distributed computing, artificial intelligence, and their application in order to provide efficient solutions to real problems. DCAI 2023 is a forum to present applications of innovative techniques for studying and solving complex problems in artificial intelligence and computing areas. This year’s technical program presents both high quality and diversity, with contributions in well-established and evolving areas of research. Specifically, 108 papers were submitted, by authors from 31 different countries representing a truly “wide area network” of research activity. The DCAI 23 technical program has selected 36 full papers in the main track and, as in past editions, there will be special issues in ranked journals. This symposium is organized by the LASI and Centro Algoritmi of the University of Minho (Portugal). The authors like to thank all the contributing authors, the members of the Program Committee, National Associations (AEPIA, APPIA), and the sponsors (AIR Institute).

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Symposium on Distributed Computing, DISC 2006. The book presents 35 revised full papers together with 1 invited paper and 13 announcements of ongoing works, all carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The entire scope of current issues in distributed computing is addressed, ranging from foundational and theoretical topics to algorithms and systems issues and to applications in various fields.

DISC, the International Symposium on Distributed Computing, is an annual forum for presentation of research on all aspects of distributed computing, - cluding the theory, design, implementation and applications of distributed - gorithms, systems and networks. The 22nd edition of DISC was held during September 22-24, 2008, in Arcachon, France. There were 101 submissions submitted to DISC this year and this volume contains 33 15-page-long regular papers selected by the Program Committee among these submissions. Every submitted paper was read and evaluated by ProgramCommittee membersassistedby externalreviewers.The ?nal decisions regarding acceptance or rejection of each paper were made during the electronic Program Committee meeting held during June 2008. Revised and expanded versions of a few best selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the journal Distributed Computing. The Program Committee selected Robert Danek and Wojciech Golab as the recipientsofthis year'sBestPaperAwardfortheir paper “Closingthe Compl- ity Gap Between FCFS Mutual Exclusion and Mutual Exclusion.”The Program Committee selected Wojciech Wawrzyniak as the recipient of this year's Best Student Paper Award for the paper “Fast Distributed Approximations in P- nar Graphs” coauthored with Andrzej Czygrinow and Michal Han´ ´ckowiak.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Distributed and Computer and Communication Networks, DCCN 2017, held in Moscow, Russia, in September 2017. The 39 full papers and the two short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 176 submissions. The papers cover the following topics: computer and communication networks architecture optimization; control in computer and communication networks; performance and QoS/QoE evaluation in wireless networks; analytical modeling and simulation of next-generation communications systems; queueing theory and reliability theory applications in computer networks; wireless 4G/5G networks, cm- and mm-wave radio technologies; RFID technology and its application in intellectual transportation networks; Internet of Things, wearables, and applications of distributed information systems; probabilistic and statistical models in information systems; mathematical modeling of high-tech systems; mathematical modeling and control problems; distributed and cloud computing systems, big data analytics.

Distributed applications are a necessity in most central application sectors of the contemporary information society, including e-commerce, e-banking, e-learning, e-health, telecommunication and transportation. This results from a tremendous growth of the role that the Internet plays in business, administration and our everyday activities. This trend is going to be even further expanded in the context of advances in broadband wireless communication. New Developments in Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems focuses on the techniques available or under development with the goal to ease the burden of constructing reliable and maintainable interoperable information systems providing services in the global communicating environment. The topics covered in this book include: Context-aware applications; Integration and interoperability of distributed systems; Software architectures and services for open distributed systems; Management, security and quality of service issues in distributed systems; Software agents and mobility; Internet and other related problem areas. The book contains the proceedings of the Third International Working Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems (DAIS'2001), which was held in September 2001 in Kraków, Poland, and sponsored by the International Federation on Information Processing (IFIP). The conference program presents the state of the art in research concerning distributed and interoperable systems. This is a topical research area where much activity is currently in progress. Interesting new aspects and innovative contributions are still arising regularly. The DAIS series of conferences is one of the main international forums where these important findings are reported.
