Contributions

As in previous editions, the goals of the Conference will be:

• to create the appropriate conditions for researchers to disseminate their research work.
• to strengthen the relationships among the AI research groups.
• to facilitate the contact between new researchers and consolidated groups
• to help the diffusion of new developments to the community.

In order to fulfill these objectives, submissions of substantial, original and previously unpublished work are invited in all areas of Artificial Intelligence and Distributes Computing. The papers can be presented from a formal, methodological, technical or applied point of view. 

Some of the topics that will be dealt with under the DCAI 2008 are:

• Distributed applications ICTs: trade, medicine, industry, the Internet, etc..
• Implementation of the AI Bioinformatics
