Intelligent Distributed Computing VII

Fully peer-reviewed, this volume of proceedings from the 7th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing held in Prague in 2013 covers a host of topics including agent-based data processing, ambient intelligence, and cryptography and security. This book represents the combined peer-reviewed proceedings of the Seventh International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing - IDC-2013, of the Second Workshop on Agents for Clouds - A4C-2013, of the Fifth International Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems Technology and Semantics - MASTS-2013,and of the International Workshop on Intelligent Robots - iR-2013.All the events were held in Prague, Czech Republic during September 4-6, 2013. The 41 contributions published in this book address many topicsrelated to theory and applications of intelligent distributedcomputing and multi-agent systems, including:agent-based data processing, ambient intelligence, bio-informatics, collaborative systems, cryptography and security, distributed algorithms, grid and cloud computing, information extraction, intelligent robotics, knowledge management, linked data, mobile agents, ontologies, pervasive computing, self-organizing systems, peer-to-peer computing, social networks and trust, and swarm intelligence.
