It continued a t- dition of successful conferences with friendly and pleasant atmospheres. Pre- ous OPODIS conferences were held in Chantilly (1997), Amiens (1998), Hanoi (1999), Paris (2000), Mexico (2001), Reims (2002), La Martinique (2003), and Grenoble (2004). TheOPODISconferenceconstitutesanopenforumfor theexchangeofsta- of-the-art knowledge on distributed computing and systems among researchers from around the world. Following the tradition of the previous events, the 2005 program was composed of high-quality contributed papers by experts of int- national caliber in this scienti?c area. Papers were sought soliciting original research contributions to the theory, speci?cations, design and implementation of distributed systems, including: - communication and synchronization protocols - distributed algorithms, multiprocessor algorithms - distributed collaborative environments - embedded systems - fault-tolerance, reliability, availability - grid and cluster computing - location- and context-aware systems - mobile computing and networks - peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks - performance analysis of distributed algorithms and systems - real-time systems - security issues in distributed computing and systems - sensor networks - speci?cation veri?cation and testing of distributed systems This year, a particular focus was placed on real-time systems and wireless networks. In response to the call for papers for OPODIS 2005, 109 papers in the above areas were submitted from 30 countries from around the world. Each paper was reviewed by at least three reviewers, and judged according to scienti?c and p- sentationquality,originalityandrelevancetotheconferencetopics. TheProgram Committee selected 30 papers for presentation at the conference. ER -
