__________________________________________________

Special Issue:
Over the years, extended and revised versions of a few selected papers from the Distributed Computing track were published in a special issue of the international journal Theoretical Computer Science (TCS). This year too, we will take up such efforts for all three tracks of the conference. More details will be posted soon.

Awards:
Recognition will be granted to the most outstanding regular paper and student paper. For a submission to qualify for the student award, it is required that at least one author maintains full-time student status during the submission period. We request that authors explicitly denote eligibility for this category (for instance, by employing the \thanks command within the title). The Program Committee reserves the right to divide the honors or refrain from presenting awards at their discretion.

Paper Submission:

Papers are to be submitted electronically using the Easy Chair link (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icdcit27) During the paper submission, you will be required to choose one of the three tracks: Distributed Computing, Intelligent Technology, or AI for Science. Please choose the track based on the topics mentioned above.
The submissions must contain original results that have not already been published and are not concurrently submitted to a journal or conference with published proceedings. By submitting a paper, the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance at least one of the authors will register for ICDCIT 2027 and present the paper.

Submissions must be in the form of a single pdf file prepared using the LNCS latex templates and style files (Information for Authors of Springer Computer Science Proceedings). Springer's proceedings LaTeX templates are also available on Overleaf (Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science - Overleaf, Online LaTeX Editor).
Each submission should consist of the main part of the paper, not exceeding 16 pages (including the title page and excluding the references), plus an optional clearly marked appendix (to be read at the discretion of the program committee). Any figure pertaining to the main part of the paper should be included therein (within the 16 page limit). The first page must include an indication of whether the paper is eligible for the best student paper award.

Anonymous submissions are required, with authors’ identities concealed throughout the paper. Names, addresses and affiliations must be omitted. Any references to related work should be in the third person (e.g., “The authors build on previous work…”).
Authors with additional inquiries regarding the double-blind review process are encouraged to contact the Program Committee chairs via email. They retain the freedom to share their work through platforms such as ArXiv and other online repositories and are welcome to deliver presentations on their research as customary.
