***
ICDCN, now in its 17th edition, has become a leading conference conference dedicated to addressing advances in Distributed Computing and Communication Networks. The ICDCN 2016 Organizing Committee invites proposals for one-day or half-day workshops affiliated with the conference. The workshops will be held prior to, or immediately after, the main conference.
The purpose of these workshops is to provide a venue for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and typically more focused area than at the conference itself. Note that ICDCN workshops are expected to enable stimulating discussions of state-of-the-art, emerging, visionary, and perhaps controversial topics. Workshops should be organized to promote such lively interaction. Plans to promote interaction and discussion should be clearly addressed in workshop proposals.
Workshops proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining to distributed computing and communication networks. Workshops addressing new emerging research directions in distributed computing and communication networks are especially welcome.
--- Proposal Submission Guidelines: Each workshop proposal must include:
1. The name of the workshop.
2. The names, addresses, and a short bio (up to 200 words) of the organizers (up to three, from at least two different institutions).
3. A brief description (up to 1 page) of the technical issues that the workshop will address, and the reasons why the workshop is of interest at this time. Please also include a short discussion of related workshops and conferences and outline why the proposed workshop is unique.
4. The names of potential program committee members, and some consideration on the communities/groups it intends to attract.
5. The planned format of the workshop, including a strategy to facilitate lively and interactive discussions.
6. If applicable, a description of past versions of the workshop, including: number of submitted and accepted papers and number of attendees.
