ICDCN 2018 Call for Workshop Papers
ICDCN is a premier international conference dedicated to addressing advances in Distributed Computing and Communication Networks, which over the years, has become a leading forum for disseminating the latest research results in these fields. The 19th edition of this international conference will be organized in India, at Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi.
The 19th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking (ICDCN 2018) plans to host several workshops. The Organizing Committee invites proposals for one-day or half-day workshops affiliated with the conference. Workshops should emphasize current topics of interest to the conference and the community which are Distributed Computing and Communication Networks. Some of the topics of interest are:
-
cyber-security
-
disaster response
-
smart healthcare
-
energy and sustainability
-
cyber-physical systems
-
distributed data-analytics
The workshops should include a mix of regular papers, invited presentations and panels that encourage the participation of attendees in active discussion. The purpose of these workshops is to provide a venue for presenting new ideas in a generally more focused area than the main conference. The objective of these workshops is to enable stimulating discussions on state-of-the-art, emerging, visionary, and perhaps controversial topics. Workshops should be organized to promote such lively interaction. Plans to promote interaction and discussion should be clearly addressed in workshop proposals. Also note that accepted workshop technical papers will be indexed by the ACM Digital Library.
In the past, ICDCN has hosted the following workshops
-
Computing and Networking for the Internet of Things (ComNetIoT)
-
Architecture and Algorithms for Distributed Data Analytics (AADDA)
-
Distributed Platforms and Technologies for Financial Services (DiPTeFS)
We plan to continue with these workshop this year as well. The details of these workshops could be on ICDCN 2017 page: http://idrbt.ac.in/ICDCN2017/workshops.html
