Overview
The 1st Latin American Workshop on Real Overlays And Distributed Systems
(ROADS) will bring together people who are (interested in) exploring the new
challenges of building overlay networks and distributed networked systems.
>From a technical perspective, the ROADS workshop is a place to share new
ideas, experiences, and work in progress.  From a social point of view, one
goal of ROADS is to nurture important face-to-face interaction among Latin
America based Real Overlays And Distributed Systems builders and the
international research community.

The Real in ROADS refers to systems that are run on a real platform for a
period of time.  Such systems might be research projects, teaching
exercises, or more permanent services, but they should address technical
issues of actual overlays and distributed systems. We also welcome works
that explore the extent to which results obtained from simulation or testbed
deployments retain validity when transferred to more representative network
environments. ROADS emphasis will be on overlays and distributed systems
that are—intended to be—spread over a large number of sites (e.g.,
PlanetLab).

The workshop program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers and
from invited speakers.

Call for Papers
Authors are invited to submit a proposal to present a technical paper,
demonstration, or a new idea that exposes a new problem, advocates a
specific solution, or reports on actual experience.  Proposals are your
chance to sell the topic to the review committee, which will assess the
relevance of your topic to ROADS.

Step 1: Your 1 page proposal must be submitted using single-spaced 10pt type
in PDF format.  Submissions are due March 15th, 2007. Notification of
acceptance or rejection will be sent by April 1st, 2007. Copies of the
accepted proposals will be made available online April 15th, 2007.

Step 2: Final papers of no more than 5 pages in total length are due May
15th, 2007.  Papers must be two-column format using single-spaced 10pt type.
Copies of these papers will be made available online for the workshop.

Presentations will be 30 minutes in length including time for questions.
Please make your presentations slides available electronically (e.g., as a
PDF) such that it can be posted online.
