CANDAR 2014 - The Second International Symposium on Computing and Networking

CANDAR will serve as a forum for exchanging the latest findings and experiences ranging from theoretical research to practical system development in all aspects of computing and networking including parallel and distributed systems, algorithms, architectures, and applications. In addition to technical sessions consisting of contributed papers, the symposium will include invited presentations, a poster session, tutorials, and workshops. We believe that participants will get new ideas and insight of computing and networking. CANDAR'14 will be held in Shizuoka City, Japan, from December 10-12, 2014. Shizuoka city is well-known for the foot of Mt. Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. The Mt. Fuji has been selected as a UNESCO world heritage as a cultural heritage site in 2013.　Since air is defecated and clean, December is the best season to see Mt. Fuji.
Publication
The symposium and workshop proceedings will be published by Conference Publishing Service and submitted to IEEE Xplore and CSDL digital libraries. Also they are submitted for indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and other indexing services. Please note that CPS enforces a “no show” policy and only papers that are presented by an author at the symposium site will be sent for inclusion in the digital libraries
