ICDCN, International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking, is a premier international conference dedicated to addressing advances in Distributed Computing and Communication Networks. Over the years, it has become a leading forum for disseminating the latest research results in these fields. The 22nd edition of this conference will be held in a historical city, Nara, Japan. Nara is the most historic and spiritual centre of Japan, where the first capital city was built over 1300 years ago. Close to Kyoto and Osaka and quickly accessible by train, Nara has World Heritage sites and well-preserved temples and shrines.

ICDCN 2021 will comprise of a highly selective technical program consisting of refereed regular and short papers, panel discussions as well as focused workshops on emerging topics about distributed computing and networking. See Call for Papers for more details. Conference proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

Selected papers will be invited for fast-track publication in Theoretical Computer Science or Pervasive and Mobile Computing journals. The conference will consider awarding a Best Paper Award.

Papers describing original research work and practical experiences/experimental results are solicited on topics that tentatively include, but are not limited to:

5G and Next-generation Networks and Services
