[CFP] ICDCN 2011: 12th Int.l Conf. on Distributed Computing and Networking

ICDCN 2011 - Preliminary call for papers
12th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking
2-5 January 2011, Bangalore, India
Conference Website (mirror): http://icdcn.iitkgp.ac.in

SCOPE
Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished results are
solicited in all areas of theory and practice of distributed systems and
networking. As in the past, ICDCN 2011 will be organized in two tracks:
Distributed Computing and Networking. Topics of interest include but are not
limited to the following:

- Distributed algorithms and concurrent data structures: design, analysis,
complexity
- Distributed operating systems, middleware, database systems
- Embedded distributed systems
- Experiments and measurements of distributed systems
- Fault-tolerance, reliability, availability, self-organization
- Self-stabilization, autonomic computing
- High performance computing, grid computing, cloud computing
- Integration of heterogeneous wireless and wired networks
- Internetworking protocols and internet applications
- Mobile and pervasive computing, context-aware distributed systems
- Multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
- Network reliability, security and privacy
- Next generation network architectures
- Overlay and peer-to-peer networks
- Performance modeling and evaluation
- Resource management and quality of service
- Security in distributed systems, cryptographic protocols
- Sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, and mesh networks
- Shared and transactional memory, synchronization protocols, concurrent
programming
- Specification, debugging, semantics, verification, testing of distributed
systems
- Traffic engineering, pricing, network management
- Wireless networks: cellular networks, and wireless LANs

SUBMISSION AND LOGISTICS
A submission should report on original, previously unpublished research that
is not being concurrently considered elsewhere for publication in a journal
or conference. A submission consists of up to ten single-spaced pages using
at least 11-point Times Roman font and one-inch margins on all sides on A4
or letter sized pages. The page limit includes title page, references,
figures, and tables. Extra material, such as additional experiments, proofs,
and graphs, can be included in a clearly-marked appendix, which will be read
at the discretion of the program committee. Submissions deviating from these
guidelines will not be reviewed. Submissions must be entered electronically
according to instructions on the conference website. Accepted submissions
will be published by Springer in the LNCS series (pending approval).
Submissions may be accepted either as regular papers or short papers.
Authors may request that their submission be considered only as a regular
paper. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
conference and present the paper.

Extended versions of selected papers from ICDCN 2011 will be considered for
publication in the Operating Systems Review journal, in the Pervasive and
Mobile Computing journal, and in the Theory of Computer Science journal, as
appropriate.

BEST PAPER AWARD
Every paper is eligible for a Best Paper Award. The Program Committee may
decline to make the award or may split it.

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission: 8 July 2010
Notification: 15 September 2010
Camera-ready due: 13 October 2010
Conference dates: 2-5 January 2011
