IDC2 2023 : 16th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing, 2nd call

The main goal of the IDC symposium is to gather researchers and practitioners to foster and ease rich discussions around the latest findings, research achievements and ideas in the area of Intelligent Distributed Computing.

All accepted papers will be included in the Symposium Proceedings, which will be published by Springer as part of their series Studies in Computational Intelligence (http://www.springer.com/series/7092).

The IDC 2023 provides an open forum for enhancing the collaboration between resear­chers, lecturers, and students from Intelligent Computing and Distributed Computing communities. Intelligent Computing covers a hybrid palette of methods, techniques and their applications ranging from classical artificial intelligence, information and data sciences, multi-agent tech­nologies or computational intelligence to more recent trends such as swarm intelligence, bio-inspired computation, cloud computing, machine learning or social/cyber-physical trust and security. Distributed Computing develops methods and technology to build complex computational systems composed of collabo­rating software components scattered across diverse computational elements.

Thus, contributions are encouraged that focus on the following areas, but are not limited to:

- Theoretical advances
- Methodological advances based on formal models and architecture frameworks
- Knowledge compilation, problem encodings and reformulations
- Practical advances in distributed algorithms and tools
- Case studies based on reproducible simulations, laboratory and field tests
- Standardization issues in intelligent distributed systems application

IDC 2023 welcomes research works centered on all aspects of intelligent distributed com­puting, with an intention to balance between theoretical research contributions and their application to great variety of industrial cases. To this end, scholars and practitioners from academia and industrial fields are invited to submit high-quality original scientific contribu­tions to IDC 2023. The structure of the symposium consists of regular sessions with technical contributions reviewed and selected by an international program committee, as well as of special sessions and workshops targeted on multi-disciplinary and cutting-edge topics.

Topics include, but are not restricted to:

Distributed swarm robotics systems
Distributed / Decentralized / Federated Machine Learning
Ephemeral and Unreliable computing
Intelligent Distributed Applications
Intelligent Distributed and High-Performance Architectures
Intelligent Distributed Knowledge Representation and Processing
Intelligent Distributed Ledgers, Blockchains and AI

- Short papers (7 pages + 1 page references)
- Position papers (4 pages)
All contribution must be formatted according to the Springer LaTeX llncs2e style.

Submissions

Submission will undergo a peer review process and should not contain any identifying information about the authors or their universities. Submissions must not be under review elsewhere nor be submitted elsewhere while under review for IDC 2023 and should not consist of previously published material. Submissions not consistent with the above guidelines may be returned without review. Submissions and reviews are automatically and exclusively handled by the EasyChair conference system.
