ICDCN 2020 is soliciting submissions as either regular or short papers.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
conference and present the paper.
Regular Papers should not exceed 10 pages double column
including figures, tables, and references in standard ACM format.
Additional details may be included in a clearly-marked appendix
(containing all technical ideas and proofs necessary for an expert to
fully verify the claims of the paper) that will be read at the
discretion of the program committee.
Short Papers should not exceed 5 pages double column including figures,
tables, and references in standard ACM format. Some papers not accepted
as regular papers may be accepted as short papers with 5 pages in the
proceedings, while full papers will be allowed 10 pages.

Best Paper Award: The ICDCN TPC plans to award a Best Paper Award,
independently for each of the two tracks. This award will be based on
the paper's technical merit, the opinions of the reviewers and the
presentation quality at the conference.
