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. ICDCN 2015 will be hosted by BITS Pilani K K Birla Goa Campus. ICDCN 2015 will be organized in two tracks: Distributed Computing and Networking, and will comprise a highly selective technical program consisting of refereed concise papers, panel discussions as well as focused workshops on emerging topics. Papers describing original research work and practical experiences/experimental results are solicited on topics including, but not limited to:

I. Distributed Computing Track

- Distributed algorithms & concurrent data structures: design, analysis, and complexity
- Distributed operating systems
- Distributed database systems
- Embedded distributed systems
- Experiments and performance evaluation of distributed systems
- Fault-tolerance, reliability, and availability
- Multiprocessor & multi-core architectures & algorithms
- Self-organization, self-stabilization, & autonomic computing
- High performance computing, grid computing, & cloud computing
- Security, cryptography, & game theory in distributed systems

II. Networking Track

- Integration of heterogeneous wireless & wired networks
- Internetworking protocols & Internet applications
- Mobile and pervasive computing, context-aware distributed systems
- Next generation & converged network architectures
- Overlay & peer-to-peer networks and services
- Home Networking & Services
- Resource management & quality of service
- Network security & privacy
- Energy-Efficient Networking & Smart Grids
- Sensor, PAN & ad-hoc networks
- Traffic engineering, pricing, network management

Submission Instructions:

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, not exceeding one page that
will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Papers must
be submitted electronically in printable pdf form via the EasyChair
submission management system at

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icdcn2015.

Templates for the standard ACM format can be found at

http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.

Both strict and alternate styles are acceptable for submission. No
changes to margins, spacing, or font sizes are allowed from those
specified by the style files. Papers violating the formatting
guidelines will be returned without review. We plan to have the
proceedings published through ACM and have it available in ACM Digital
library. Some papers not accepted as regular papers may be accepted as
"Concise papers" with 4 ACM pages in the proceedings while full papers
will be allowed 10 ACM pages. Warning: It is ACM policy not to allow
double submissions, where the same paper is submitted to more than one
conference/journal concurrently. Any double submissions detected will
be immediately rejected from all conferences/journals involved. At
least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
conference and present the paper.
