[Call for Posters]
ICDCN 2022, the 23rd International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking, welcomes exciting posters showing promising early works on novel distributed computing and networking technologies and applications. We seek participation from both industry and academia. Selection posters will be based on a short abstract, evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as the potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas at the conference. The poster session is meant to introduce new or ongoing work and provide opportunities for authors to interact directly with attendees.
We welcome all topics that align with the ICDCN main conference topics of interest
Poster abstracts should report on research work where at least some preliminary results are available, but they need not necessarily describe completed work. An easel will be provided for all posters. All poster abstract submissions must strictly adhere to the formatting guidelines specified below.
Poster submissions should be no more than 2 pages and must follow a double-column format. All figures, appendices, and references must fit within this limit. Paper reviewing is single-blind and submissions should list author names on the front page. Your submission must be in PDF format with all fonts embedded, and be formatted according to the official ACM Proceedings format. Submissions that do not meet the page limit, size, and formatting requirements will not be reviewed. Word and LaTeX templates are available here. Please note that ACM uses 9-pt fonts in all conference proceedings, and the style (both LaTeX and Word) implicitly define the font size to be 9- pt.
At least one author of each accepted poster must register for the conference and present the poster. Due to the Coronavirus situation, the authors have the option of submitting a slide show and/or a pre-recorded video of their presentation(mandatory) or making their presentation via Zoom(optional).
Submission Deadline: September 24, 2021, 11:59:59pm EDT
Notification of acceptance: October 14, 2021, 11:59:59pm EDT
Camera-ready abstract: October 20, 2021, 11:59:59pm EDT

[Call for Doctoral Symposium]
ICDCN 2022 will host a Doctoral Symposium to encourage Ph.D. students to present and discuss their research with peers in their fields. This symposium is best suited for students who already have a plan outlined for their dissertation in the broad areas of Distributed Computing and Computer Networking. The symposium will provide an opportunity for students to obtain helpful feedback on their research from academics and practitioners from leading universities and industries.
TBD.
Ph.D. students working in the following areas can submit their research proposals for this symposium.
5G and Next Generation Networks and Services
Ad-hoc, Sensor, PAN and Mesh Networks
Backscatter and Ultra-low Power Networks

Those who are enrolled as a full-time student in a Ph.D. program at any university as on date of submission of the proposal are eligible. Ph.D. students with a well formulated problem and initial technical approach/results are particularly encouraged to apply as they would benefit from the feedback from the symposium. Although this forum is primarily targeted towards Ph.D. students, BS and MS students who have formulated a research project and obtained some good results will also be considered and hence are encouraged to apply.
Submissions to the Doctoral Symposium should must include the following:
Research paper (1-2 pages)
Curriculum Vitae (1 page)
A submitted paper must not exceed 2-pages, including references, in the standard ACM format available here. A research paper must include a clear problem statement of the research, technical approaches for the problem, the novelty of the problem and/or the approaches, and the results obtained so far. The student author should be clearly indicated, and the advisor(s) should be listed as co-authors. Curriculum Vitae must contain the participant's name, affiliation, advisor's name, theme of research, degrees obtained so far, current status in their degree, and expected graduation date. All papers must be submitted in a PDF format through EasyChair.
All submissions will be reviewed, and the primary student author of the proposals that are accepted will have the opportunity to give an oral presentation (10-20 minutes) at ICDCN. No-show without approval from chairs is not allowed, and will lead to the submission being withdrawn from the proceedings. The accepted submissions will be included in the ICDCN proceedings as a 2-page extended abstract.
ICDCN will waive the registration fee for all students who will give a talk in the doctoral symposium.
