Conference Objective

The conference will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their contributions related to "Distributed Computing". In addition to presented papers, the conference will include keynote addresses by leading researchers from academic institutions and industry. Case studies by eminent practicing engineers are also being planned.

There are many real world applications which are in dire need of computational resources in addition to user's own machine. For such applications, existing unutilized distributed resources among the networked computers may be made use of, thereby reducing the cost involved in setting up new hardware and software infrastructure in user's premises. This conference addresses various issues involved in sharing resources in a transparent, open, fault tolerant, scalable and secure way.
