EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 15, 2010 Apologies if you receive multiple copies. CALL FOR PAPERS ICDCN 2011 12th International Conference on Distributed Computing & Networking January 2 . 5, 2011 Bangalore, India http://www.icdcn.org Organized by Infosys Technologies, Bangalore, the 12th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking (ICDCN 2011) will be held in Bangalore, India, during January 2-5, 2011. Over the years, ICDCN has become a leading forum for disseminating the latest research results in distributed computing and networking. Scope Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished results are solicited in all areas of theory and practice of distributed systems and networking. As in the past, ICDCN 2011 will be organized in two tracks: Distributed Computing and Networking. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: - Distributed algorithms and concurrent data structures: design, analysis, complexity - Distributed operating systems, middleware, database systems - Embedded distributed systems - Experiments and measurements of distributed systems - Fault-tolerance, reliability, availability, self-organization - Self-stabilization, autonomic computing - High performance computing, grid computing, cloud computing - Integration of heterogeneous wireless and wired networks - Internetworking protocols and internet applications - Mobile and pervasive computing, context-aware distributed systems - Multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms - Network reliability, security and privacy - Next generation network architectures - Overlay and peer-to-peer networks - Performance modeling and evaluation - Resource management and quality of service - Security in distributed systems, cryptographic protocols - Sensor networks, ad-hoc networks and mesh networks - Shared and transactional memory, synch. protocols, concurrent programming - Specification, debugging, semantics, verification, testing of distributed systems - Traffic engineering, pricing, network management - Wireless networks: cellular networks, and wireless LANs Paper Submission A submission should report on original, previously unpublished research that is not being concurrently considered elsewhere for publication in a journal or conference. A submission consists of up to ten single-spaced pages using at least 11-point Times Roman font and one-inch margins on all sides on A4 or letter sized pages. The page limit includes title page, references, figures, and tables. Extra material, such as additional experiments, proofs, and graphs, can be included in a clearly-marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Submissions deviating from these guidelines will not be reviewed. Submissions must be entered online through Easychair as per the instructions in the Submissions link on the conference website. Accepted submissions will be published by Springer in the LNCS series (pending approval). Submissions may be accepted either as regular papers or short papers. Authors may request that their submission be considered only as a regular paper. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper. Extended versions of selected papers from ICDCN 2011 will be considered for publication in the Operating Systems Review journal, in the Pervasive and Mobile Computing journal, and in the Theory of Computer Science journal, as appropriate. BEST PAPER AWARD Every paper is eligible for a Best Paper Award. The Program Committee may decline to make the award or may split it. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline: Extended! July 15, 23:59 PM, US EST, 2010 Notification of Acceptance September 15, 2010 Camera-ready Paper Due October 13, 2010 Conference dates: 2-5 January 2011 -------------- Call for Workshops ---------------- ICDCN 2011 invites proposals for full-day and half-day workshops on emerging new topics that would be of interest to the networking and distributed systems community. For more information, please contact the workshop co-chairs Krishna Kant ([log in to unmask]) and Jiannong Cao ([log in to unmask]) by July 8, 2010. The following topics are of particular interest: - Social and collaborative networking as applied to grand challenge areas such as security, healthcare, environmental stewardship, disaster management, etc. - Energy Management in large scale systems such as data centers, cloud/grid computing environments, etc., including theoretical and algorithmic aspects of addressing the energy/performance/availability triad. - Control of large-scale Cyber-physical systems -- e.g., smart-grid, smart-buildings, transportation systems, etc. Potential aspects of interest include stability & control issues, networking, management, robustness, security, etc. ------------- CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS ----------------- General Chairs Lorenzo Alvisi, U.
