The Fifth International Symposium on Computing and Networking

Aomori, Japan, November 19-22, 2017

Technically Cosponsored by
IEICE Technical Committee on Computer Systems (pending approval)
IPSJ Special Interest Group on System Architecture (pending approval)

[Venue] The symposium will be held at Aomori Prefecture Tourist Center (ASPM)

[Introduction] Following the success of past ICNC conferences 2010 in
Hiroshima, 2011 in Osaka, and 2012 in Okinawa, and CANDAR symposiums
2013 in Matsuyama, 2014 in Shizuoka, 2015 in Sapporo, 2016 in
Hiroshima, CANDAR 2017 will be held in Aomori, Japan. CANDAR 2017 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'17 will be held
in Aomori, Japan, from November 19-22, 2017.

[Publication] The symposium and workshop proceedings will be published
by Conference Publishing Service of IEEE 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.
