The conference provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to present their latest research findings in any aspects of distributed and parallel computing. Papers are solicited on a wide range of distributed systems and solutions, including:
 

INTRODUCTION

CDCN 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 2013 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.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have recently provided the right technology for enabling cable free systems for environmental monitoring. These networks of collaborative sensor nodes are easily deployable, can be embedded into structures, placed on the human body, dispersed in water and on-land and, through wireless communications, provide easy data reporting.

Flying robot quadrotors perform the James Bond Theme by playing various instruments including the keyboard, drums and maracas, a cymbal, and the debut of an adapted guitar built from a couch frame. The quadrotors play this "couch guitar" by flying over guitar strings stretched across a couch frame; plucking the strings with a stiff wire attached to the base of the quadrotor.

Due to rising energy costs and environmental concerns, energy has become one of the important concerns for the communities, governments and industries. The E6 (Energy in Communication, Information, and Cyber-physical Systems) workshop at COMSNETS 2013 focuses on all aspects (energy conservation, energy efficiency, alternate energy sources) related to energy consumption in communication and computing systems, and, as well as associated cyber-physical systems.

The FY 2012 updated  NSF Cyber-Physical Systems program solicitation (NSF 13-502) is now posted.

Symposia dedicated to promising research in resilient systems that will protect cyber-physical infrastructures from unexpected and malicious threats--securing our way of life.
