The workshop usually promotes the participation of Ph.D. students and senior researchers of different countries, centered on the presentation and discussion of research in progress at the doctoral school as well as  seminars conducted by experienced researchers or industrial experts on  subjects related to the scientific program of the workshop. Invited speakers will be selected from both academic and industrial communities, to bring their experience and present their research studies as well as discuss novel issues, recent developments, applications, methodologies, and novel techniques.

Scientific Program

The scientific program of the workshop builds on the successful research program conducted within the conjunct Italian-French-German doctoral college. The general idea is to tackle open scientific locks identi-fied in the previous research period and to explore new research directions in these domains. The topics of the workshop are on four main axis: multimedia, distributed systems, pervasive computing and IT-security. The goal of the workshop is not only to encourage collaboration among high-level academic researchers in these strategic domains, but also to facilitate a practical community, to foster networking, and in the long term, to create opportunities for additional scientific projects.

All papers must be original contributions, not previously published or be under review for publication elsewhere. All contributions must be written in English.
