Most real world systems and applications are inherently distributed. Distributed systems provide extensibility, protection against single failures, and an adequate architecture to cope with spatially distributed real-world applications. These systems are widely used in distributed databases, telecommunication, groupware, security, monitoring habitat and education. The challenge in developing cooperative distributed systems (CDS) is in modelling and engineering the interactions between the entities of the system.

The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress and challenges in the area of cooperative distributed systems. We encourage contributions that describe innovative work and results on CDS. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

·  Adaptive agents for Autonomic Computing

·  Agent-based architectures for CDSs

·  Agent-based Infrastructure for Autonomic Computing

·  Cooperative Agents Design Issues

·  Cooperation Strategies

·  Coordination Models

·  Grid Systems Computing

·  Intelligent Systems for CDSs

·  Learning Agents in CDSs

·  Mobile and Pervasive Collaboration Systems

·  Multi-agent Systems Design and Architectures

·  Security in CDSs

·  Wired and Wireless Distributed Systems
