[hpc-announce] ICDCIT-2024: Deadline Extension (28th August 2023)

[Stéphane Devismes]

Since 2004, ICDCIT conference series has been a global platform for 
Computer Science researchers to exchange
research results and ideas on the foundations and applications of 
Distributed Computing and Internet Technology. The rapid rise and 
adoption of Artificial Intelligence in all domains of science and 
engineering has prompted the introduction of “intelligent technology” in 
the scope of the conference. Undoubtedly, these technologies are 
critical to individuals and organizations who engage in the design, 
development and deployment of large scale systems incorporating AI based 
components and subsystems.

The 20th International Conference on Distributed Computing and 
Intelligent Technology (ICDCIT-2024) will take place in Bhubaneswar 
during 17th -20 th January 2024. It will be organized by KIIT, 
Bhubaneswar, India. As in the previous years, proceedings of the 
conference are planned to be published by Springer in the series of 
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). http://www.icdcit.ac.in/

Paper Submission
Authors are invited to electronically submit their papers using LNCS 
format written in English, of upto 16 pages, presenting unpublished 
research results (not submitted elsewhere) or innovative practical 
applications including development of state of the art tools relevant to 
the conference theme. All submissions are to be done electronically, and 
submitted papers will be peer reviewed for possible inclusion in the 
conference proceedings expected to be published by Springer-Verlag as a 
volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Note: During the paper 
submission (on the easychair link given below), you will be required to 
choose one of the two tracks: Distributed Computing (DC Track) or 
Intelligent Technology (IT Track). Please choose the track based on the 
topics mentionedabove.

Anonymous Submissions (Double Blind Review)
We are having anonymous submissions. A submission should not reveal the 
identity of the authors in any way. Nonames, addresses and affiliations 
should appear in the paper. Any references to their own related work 
should be in the third person (e.g., not “We build on our previous work 
…” but rather “We build on the work of …”). The purpose of this 
processis to help PC members and external reviewers come to an initial 
judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for 
them to discover the authors if they were to try. The conference's 
double blind review process should avoid bias, yet nothing should be 
done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the 
job of reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, important 
references should not be omitted or anonymized. Authors with further 
questions on double-blind reviewing are encouraged to contact the PC 
chairs by email. You are free to disseminate your work through ArXiv and 
other online repositories and give presentations on your work as usual. 
Format for paper preparation: 
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines. 
At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register for the 
conference and present the paper in person at the conference.

Papers are to be submitted through the Easychair as per following schedue:
