CALL FOR PAPERS



DOC Version | PDF Version


ICDCN (the International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking) is a premier international conference dedicated to addressing advances in Distributed Computing and Communication Networks. Over the years, ICDCN has become a leading forum for disseminating the latest research results in these fields. As in the past, ICDCN 2012 will be organized in two tracks: Distributed Computing and Networking, and will comprise a highly selective technical program consisting of refereed submitted papers, panel discussions as well as focused workshops on emerging topics.

 

Papers describing original research work and practical experiences/experimental results are solicited on topics including, but not limited to:

·         Distributed algorithms & concurrent data structures: design, analysis, and complexity

·         Distributed operating systems

·         Distributed database systems

·         Embedded distributed systems

·         Experiments and performance evaluation of distributed systems

·         Fault-tolerance, reliability, and availability

·         Multiprocessor & multi-core architectures & algorithms

·         Self-organization, self-stabilization, & autonomic computing

·         High performance computing, grid computing, & cloud computing

·         Security, cryptography, & game theory in distributed systems

·         Integration of heterogeneous wireless & wired networks

·         Internetworking protocols & Internet applications

·         Mobile and pervasive computing, context-aware distributed systems

·         Next generation & converged network architectures

·         Overlay & peer-to-peer networks and services

·         Home Networking & Services

·         Resource management & quality of service

·         Network security & privacy

·         Energy-Efficient Networking & Smart Grids

·         Sensor, PAN & ad-hoc networks

·         Traffic engineering, pricing, network management

Submission Instructions:  ICDCN 2012 is soliciting submissions as either regular or short (concise contribution) papers. Regular papers will be allowed a maximum of 15 pages, while short papers will be permitted a maximum of 5 pages. The type of paper should be specified during paper submission-authors may request that their submission be considered only as a regular paper.

All papers must use at least 10-point Times Roman font and be formatted as per the "LNCS style". Links to the LNCS styles for Latex and MS-Word are available from the Submissions Webpage http://icdcn2012.comp.polyu.edu.hk/submissions.html -- note that the page limits include all additional material, such as appendices, proofs, etc. Submissions deviating from these guidelines will not be reviewed. Accepted submissions will be published by Springer in the LNCS series.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper.  Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair submission management system at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icdcn2012

Selected papers from the Distributed Computing Track will be published in a special issue of Theoretical Computer Science (TCS). Selected papers from the Networking Track will be published in a special issue of the Elsevier Pervasive & Mobile Computing (PMC) journal.
