ICDCN 2023 Call for Workshop Proposals

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 24th edition of this international conference will be organised in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur, from 4th - 7th January 2023. https://cse.iitkgp.ac.in/conf/ICDCN23/

The 24th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking (ICDCN 2023) 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 within the broader areas of Distributed Computing and Communication Networks. Some of the topics of interest are mentioned below, but not limited to:

- Distributed Data-Analytics
- Blockchains
- Distributed AI/ML
- Security, Privacy and Game Theory in Distributed Computing and Networking
- Disaster response
- Smart healthcare
- Energy and Sustainability
- Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical systems
- Distributed game theory
- Biological Distributed Algorithms
- Mobile Crowdsensing and Social Network Analysis and Mining
- 5G and beyond Networks
Next generation internet
- Ad-hoc, Sensor, PAN and Mesh Networks
- Backscatter and Ultra-low Power Networks
- Cloud Computing and Big Data Processing
- Cognitive Networking
- Edge Computing and Mobile Offloading
- Pervasive and Mobile Computing
- Vehicular Networks, Smart Grids and Smart City Applications
- Fault-tolerance, Reliability, and Availability of Distributed Systems
- Self-organization, Self-stabilization, and Autonomic Computing

The workshops may 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 platform 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. It is expected that workshop papers will be published along with the main conference papers as part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS) and will be indexed by the ACM Digital Library.

The previous editions of ICDCN  hosted the following workshops:
