ICDCN (the International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking) is a premier international conference dedicated to addressing advances in Distributed Computing and Communication Networks. Over the years, ICDCN has become a leading forum for disseminating the latest research results in these fields. As in the past, ICDCN 2012 will be organized in two tracks: Distributed Computing and Networking, and will comprise a highly selective technical program consisting of refereed submitted 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:
- 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
