The 18th International Symposium on Distributed Computing and Applications to Business, Engineering and Sciences (DCABES2019) will be held in Hubei University, Wuhan, China, November 8~10, 2019. As in previous conferences, DCABES intends to bring together researchers and developers in the academic field and industry from around the world to share their research experiences and to explore research collaborations in the areas of distributed parallel processing and applications.

The EI/CPCI (ISTP) has indexed published Proceedings of the DCABES. From DCABES 2010, Proceedings of the DCABES has been published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS), and be sent to the EI/CPCI (ISTP) for indexing by CPS. In addition, selected papers will be published in special issues of international journals. Series conferences of the DCABES have gained good reputation in distributed computing area for comprehensively presenting the state-of-the-art research results. You are warmly invited to submit an extended abstract/full paper, and/or a proposal to organize a technical session. All accepted abstracts should be extended by the authors to a full paper (4 pages or less), which will be published by the CPS as a USB disk of proceedings with ISBN to be distributed at the conference. Part of select papers of the DCABES 2019 proceedings will be recommended to the Journal of Algorithms and Computational Technology (JACT, SCI (E) and EI indexed) soon after the Symposium. Please submit your paper in MS Word and the corresponding PDF format. Please limit the paper size to 4 pages, since one extra page will cost you extra 100 USD per page.Scope
