[DMANET] ICDCN 2025 - Call for Tutorial

Call for Tutorial

The 26th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking
(ICDCN 2025) invites submissions for Tutorial proposals on all topics
listed below and more. Tutorial proposals should be no more than six (6)
pages (excluding the biography of the presenters) and strictly follow the ACM
conference style templates.
<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>
Tutorials are expected to take place in parallel with the workshops and
main conference tracks of the conference. The length of each tutorial is
supposed to be 1.5 - 2.5 hours (flexible). At least one organizer of an
accepted Tutorial is required to attend the conference to carry out the
presentation. Each accepted Tutorial will receive one complimentary
conference registration. Proposal evaluation criteria include the
following: relevance to ICDCN, scientific quality, perceived interest and
overlap with ICDCN tutorials in the past.
*Topics*

Scope of the tutorial tentatively include, but are not limited to

- Distributed algorithms: design, analysis, and complexity
- Network aspects of federated learning
- 6G networks and beyond
- Semantic communications
- Quantum networks
- Communication networks: algorithms, architectures, services,
protocols, applications
- Multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
- Shared and transactional memory, synchronization protocols, concurrent
programming
- Fault-tolerance, reliability, availability, self-organization,
self-stabilization
- Codes and reliable communication
- Internet applications, social networks, recommendation systems
- Dynamic, adaptive and machine learning-based distributed algorithms
- Distributed operating systems, middleware platforms, databases
- Game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
- Distributed mechanisms design
- Peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks, distributed data management
- High-performance, cluster, cloud and grid computing
- Wireless networks, mobile computing, autonomous agents and robots
- Context-aware distributed systems
- Security in distributed computing, cryptographic protocols
- Distributed cryptocurrencies and blockchain protocols
- Quantum and optics-based distributed algorithms
