International Conference on Distributed Computing and Internet Technologies
(ICDCIT 2008 http://www.icdcit08.org)

Established in 2004, the ICDCIT conference series is a well-recognized international forum for exchanging research ideas and results in theory, methodology and applications of Distributed Computing and Internet Technology.

The 5th ICDCIT will be held in New Delhi the capital of India. We invite technical papers describing original and unpublished results in the area Distributed Computing and Internet Technologies. Our goal is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to meet and share cutting-edge advancements in the field.

All submissions should clearly identify their contribution to the state of the art and their potential usefulness. Work that has appeared elsewhere (in some conference or journal) cannot be submitted for ICDCIT. Work that is currently under consideration elsewhere (a conference or a journal) also cannot be submitted.

Submissions are invited broadly in all aspects of Distributed Computing and Internet Technologies including but not limited to, the following:

Paper Submission

Paper submissions will be reviewed and evaluated based on correctness, originality, technical quality, presentation, and relevance to conference. Submissions will be accepted electronically (in PDF format) and the submission procedure will be posted at the conference website. Papers should not exceed 12 pages, and follow Springer LNCS Publication Guidelines. ICDCIT2008 proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and will be distributed at the conference. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chairs at the address below for further information or clarification.

Tutorials, Workshops and PhD Symposium
