IDCaimsatbringingtogetherresearchersandpractitionersinvolvedinallaspects
of Intelligent Distributed Computing. IDC is interested in works that are relevant
forbothDistributedComputingandIntelligentComputing,withscientificmeritin

organizedbyUniversityofCalabria,UniversityofCraiova,andSenSysCalS.r.l.in
Calabria, Italy duringSeptember24-26,2012.IDC 2012had a special interestin

cessing.
IDC2012wascollocatedwith:(i)A4C(AgentsforCloud)2012workshop;(ii)
4th International Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems Technology and Semantics,
MASTS2012.
Thematerialpublishedinthisbookisdividedintothreemainparts:(i)30con-
tributionsofIDC2012participants;(ii) 4contributionsofA4C2012participants;
(iii)3contributionsofMASTS2012participants.
TheresponsetoIDC2012callforpaperwasgenerous.Wereceived45submis-
sions from 16 countries (we counted the country of each coauthor for each sub-
mitted paper). Each submission was carefully reviewed by at least 3 members of
VI Preface
theIDC2012ProgramCommittee.Acceptanceandpublicationwerejudgedbased
on the relevanceto the symposiumthemes, clarity of presentation,originalityand
accuracyofresultsandproposedsolutions.Finally 12regularpapersand17short
papers were selected for presentation and were included in this volume, resulting
in acceptanceratesof 26.7% forregularpapersand37.8% forshortpapers.Ad-
ditionally, A4C 2012 and MASTS 2012 workshops received 8 submissions each.
After the carefulreview (each submission was reviewed by at least 3 membersof
theA4C2012andMASTS2012ProgramCommittee),4papersforA4C2012and
3papersforMASTS2012wereselectedforpresentationandwereincludedinthis
book.
The37contributionspublishedinthisbookaddressmanytopicsrelatedto the-
oryand applicationsof intelligentdistributedcomputingand multi-agentsystems,
including: self-organization, bio-inspiration, adaptive and autonomous distributed
systems, agentprogramming,parallelcomputing,social computingand networks,
agents and sensor networks, collaborative computing, mobile networks and intel-
ligence,dynamicreasoning,agent-basedintelligentapplications,cloudcomputing,
andsmartenvironments.
We wouldliketothanktoJanuszKacprzyk,editorofStudiesinComputational

wouldliketothanktotheIDC2012,A4C2012andMASTS2012ProgramCom-
mittee membersfor their workin promotingthe eventand refereeingsubmissions
and also to all colleagues who submitted papers to IDC 2012, A4C 2012 and
MASTS 2012. We deeply appreciate the efforts of our invited speakers Belur V.
