NETYS aims to bring together researchers and engineers from both the theory and practice of distributed and networked systems. The scope of the conference covers all aspects related to the design and the development of these systems, including, but not restricted to, multi-core architectures, concurrent and distributed algorithms, parallel/concurrent/distributed programming, distributed databases, big data applications and systems, cloud systems, networks, security, formal verification, etc.

NETYS will provide a forum to report on best practices and novel algorithms, results and techniques on networked systems. Original contributions as well as case study papers on the principles, design, implementation, modeling, analysis, verification, and application of networked systems are solicited. Specific concepts common to different forms of such systems are most welcome.

NETYS is coupled with the METIS Spring School which aims at introducing young researchers to the domain of distributed and networked systems through tutorials on basics, as well as lectures on new research topics and current trends in this domain.

Topics of interest include:

• - Multi-core architectures and multithreaded applications
• - Distributed databases, embedded and operating systems
• - Mobile, wireless, ad-hoc and sensor networks
• - Cloud systems and data centers
• - Middleware environments
• - Concurrent and distributed algorithms
• - Web-based and service-oriented architectures
• - Event-based systems
• - Social networks
• - Security and privacy
• - Self-stabilizing, self-organizing,and autonomic systems
• - Overlay and peer-to-peer infrastructures
