Other activities
Members of the group are continuously involved in the Program Committes of prestigeous International Conferences such as ICDCS, PADS, SRDS and ETC (refer to personal home pages for more details). Also, the group has recently organized the Workshop on Object-Oriented Real-Time distributed Systems and will shortly organize the 3rd Symposium on Distributed Systems Applications.
