Overview
++++++++

More and more different types of applications have been using the Internet
as a large distributed system in the past few years. Many challenging research
problems have emerged With this recent development. Solutions to the
these problems require multi-disciplinary collaboration between researchers
from different fields.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from various
areas related to novel Internet Community Systems. Participants will have
the opportunity to discuss the current state of the art and identify
promising directions for research.


Topics
++++++

The scope of the workshop encompasses three complementary aspects of
Internet Community Systems: theory, architectures, and information. The topics
include, but are not limited to, the following:

Theoretical foundations and models
   * Small worlds and graph theory
   * Distributed algorithms
   * Game theory and economic models
   * Self organization and self stabilization
   * Distributed simulation models

Distributed architectures and applications
   * Peer-to-peer and grid architectures
   * Ubiquitous and pervasive computing
   * Mobile and ad hoc networks
   * Adaptive systems
   * Distributed middleware

Information and knowledge management
   * Information retrieval
   * Content distribution
   * Data and knowledge management
   * Cooperative information systems
   * Distributed ontologies


Call for Contributions
++++++++++++++++++++++

We solicit submissions of unpublished papers presenting research results,
industrial experiences and applications, as well as detailed specifications
of open problems.

Electronic submission is required. Full papers of no more that 10 pages
(extended abstracts for industrial presentations only) should be submitted
as PostScript, PDF, or Word files using the conference management system at
http://www.i2cs-conference.org

All submitted papers will be subject to a refereeing process by the program
committee. Continuing the tradition of former I2CS proceedings, contributions of I2CS 2005 will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
by Springer Verlag after the conference.
