CANDAR'13 (http://is-candar.org/)

The First International Symposium on Computing and Networking
- Across Practical Development and Theoretical Research -

Dogo SPA Resort, Matsuyama, Japan, December 4-6, 2013

Following the success of past ICNC conferences,2010 in Hiroshima, 2011
in Osaka, and 2012 in Okinawa, International Conference on Networking
and Computing (ICNC) has been renovated to a more extensive symposium,
International Symposium on Computing and Networking — Across Practical
Development and Theoretical Research — (CANDAR). 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'13 will be held in Matsuyama, Japan, from December 4-6, 2013.
Matsuyama city is well-known for Dogo, the oldest hot spring in Japan.
It also has Matsuyama Castle, one of the twelve persisting castle
towers in Japan.
