Topics: distributed computing cloud computing internet of things big data

The 12th International Conference on Internet and Distributed  
Computing Systems is the perfect venue for an academic and the single  
track format participants to include academia, industry, and Ph.D.  
students to interact and socialize. Invited keynote speakers are  
opening the activities of each day.

TOPICS OF INTEREST: Distributed Computing, Cloud Computing, Mobile  
Computing, Edge Computing, Fog Computing, Internet Applications,  
Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, Big Data, and  
Transportation and Logistics.

Modern systems such as distributed systems, cloud computing, mobile  
computing, edge computing, fog computing, and cyber-physical systems  
are tending to complexity, elasticity, dependability, security.  
Especially when dealing with dynamic events or actions in their  
environments and/or Internet applications, we not only need to keep  
those systems running normally but also need them to self-adapt to  
many changes.

On the other hand, the development of the Internet is very high rapid,  
and the Internet has already entered the 5G era. The Internet as  
society infrastructure and the widespread use of mobile edge, wireless  
wearable devices or IoT sensors have laid the foundation for the  
emergence of innovative network applications, transportation, and  
logistics. Under the influence of these most advanced technologies,  
human production and life are gradually changing.

The academic and industrial worlds are constantly developing and  
innovating in areas such as machine learning, artificial intelligence,  
and media stream processing. These technologies not only enrich and  
improve the quality of life of modern people but also in the process  
of integration in many fields. The huge amount of data processing and  
the integration of the digital world with the physical environment  
make humans to also set a constructive development in biological,  
agricultural, and policy.

This conference desires to look for inspiration in diverse areas (e.g.  
infrastructure & system design, software development, big data,  
control theory, artificial intelligence, IoT, self-adaptation,  
emerging models, paradigms, applications and technologies related to  
Internet-based distributed systems) to develop new ways to design and  
manage such complex and adaptive computation resources.

A special session of the conference is dedicated to Ph.D. students.

applied to engineering problems. Short papers submitted for  
presentation at the IDCS2019 Conference will be peer‐reviewed.

Posters
Up to 6 pages (+2 pages with extra fee) manuscripts prepared in the  
standard Springer LNCS proceedings paper template. Submitted papers  
should present original results of theoretical or practical research  
applied to engineering problems; new research lines, on going working  
in progress contributions and mixed poster/demo applications are  
really welcome.
Formatting instructions
Each submitted paper must follow the Springer LNCS proceedings paper  
template (available here). The copyright form to be submitted along  
with the CR paper is (available here). The maximum length of regular  
conference papers, including all figures, appendix, references, etc.,  
is 12 pages.

Camera-Ready Submission
Authors of the accepted papers must submit a final manuscript for  
conference proceedings before 20 August, 2019 and attend the  
conference to present the paper at IDCS 2019 in Napoli. Authors of  
accepted papers MUST register before 31 August, 2019 to have their  
papers included in the Springer LNCS Proceedings.

Please refer to the Easy-Chair submission system for review comments,  
and revise your paper as required accordingly. The format of  
camera-ready submission should be compatible with LNCS publication  
standards. The maximum length of regular conference papers is 12  
pages. The maximum length of short conference papers is 8 pages. The  
maximum length of poster paper is 8 pages. The final submission will  
be rejected for publication if the author fails to revise it.

The Final submission must be done through Easy-Chair and the uploaded  
file should be a zip file containing:
* Final paper in PDF format
* Source files (Latex or Word)
* Scanned signed copyright form

The format of camera-ready submission should be strictly compatible  
with Springer LNCS proceedings paper standards. Accepted and presented  
papers will be copyrighted to Springer LNCS and published in  
conference proceedings.

Papers will be published LNCS, only if all three of the following  
requirements are satisfied:
(1) All correct publication materials of a paper are submitted
(2) At least one regular registration fee is paid to cover one paper
(3) The work is presented at the conference
