IEEE-Tunisia section.

---------------
Special Issues
---------------

Two special issues are planned (the Wiley Concurrency and Computation:
Practice and Experiment Journal and the Springer Journal of
Supercomputing) to publish a selection of best papers of Notere'2010
and the associated workshops. One special issue will be devoted to
contributions addressing models, methods, protocols, architectures for
communication and cooperation. The other issue will be devoted to
contributions handling methods, models, software, and architectures
for distribution.

-----------
Background
-----------

The technologies for information distribution are still evolving
changing. The International Conference on new distributed systems
technologies (NOTERE 2010: NOuvelles TEchnologies de la REpartition)
is a bilingual (French/English) forum for engineers and scientists in
academia, industry and government to present the recent advances and
latest research results in the design, implementation, deployment, and
evaluation of distributed system platforms, applications and
architectures. NOTERE 2010 will include a high quality scientific
program, invited speakers, tutorials and workshops in conjunction with
the conference.

After the nine past conferences held successively in Pau, Montreal,
Paris, Saadia, Gatineau, Toulouse, Marrakech, Lyon, Montreal, the
tenth edition of NOTERE will be Held in Tozeur in Tunisia.
