23rd International Conference on Distributed Computing and Intelligent Technology

January 8th – 11th, 2027
Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology
Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India

Call for Papers

The International Conference on Distributed Computing and Intelligent Technology, from its inception (2004), provides a platform where researchers, educators, and practitioners can create, exchange, and synthesize their ideas and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in the field of distributed computing and intelligent technology. The swift advancement and widespread integration of Artificial Intelligence across various fields of science and engineering have led to the inclusion of “intelligent technology” within the conference’s scope. These technologies are essential for individuals and organizations designing, developing, and deploying large-scale systems incorporating AI-based components and subsystems.

The forthcoming 23 rd International Conference on Distributed Computing and Intelligent Technology (ICDCIT-2027) is scheduled to convene in Bhubaneswar from 8 January to 11 January 2027. Hosted by the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) in Bhubaneswar, India, the event seeks to foster discussions and progress in the field. In keeping with tradition, Springer plans to publish the conference proceedings in the prestigious Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, as done in previous editions.

Special Issue

Extended and revised versions of selected papers from the Distributed Computing track will be taken into consideration for inclusion in a special issue of the international journal Theoretical Computer Science (TCS).

Paper Award

Recognition will be granted to the most outstanding regular paper and student paper. For a submission to qualify for the student award, it is required that at least one author maintains full-time student status during the submission period. We request that authors explicitly denote eligibility for this category (for instance, by employing the thanks command within the title). The Program Committee reserves the right to divide the honors or refrain from presenting awards at their discretion.

Paper Submission

Authors are cordially invited to electronically submit their papers in English, adhering to the LNCS format, with a maximum length of 16 pages. Submissions should present unpublished research findings or inventive practical applications, ensuring the novelty of the work and that it has not been submitted elsewhere. All submissions are to be made electronically, and the submitted papers will undergo a thorough peer-review process for potential inclusion in the conference proceedings. The proceedings are anticipated to be published by Springer-Verlag as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Note

During the paper submission (on the EasyChair link given below), you will be required to choose one of the three tracks: Distributed Computing, Intelligent Technology, or AI for Science. Please choose the track based on the topics mentioned above.

Anonymous Submissions (Double Blind Review)

Anonymous submissions are required, with authors’ identities concealed throughout the paper. Names, addresses and affiliations must be omitted. Any references to related work should be in the third person (e.g., “The authors build on previous work…”). This approach helps PC members and external reviewers form an unbiased initial judgment. The intention is not to prevent the discovery of authors but to allow an unbiased assessment.

The conference’s double-blind review process is designed to mitigate bias. However, measures taken to ensure anonymity should not compromise the quality of submissions or unnecessarily burden reviewers. Specifically, vital references must not be omitted or anonymized.

Authors with additional inquiries regarding the double-blind review process are encouraged to contact the Program Committee chairs via email. They retain the freedom to share their work through platforms such as ArXiv and other online repositories and are welcome to deliver presentations on their research as customary.
