Call for Workshop Proposals

IEEE ICDCS 2025 will be hosting workshops in conjunction with the conference, to be held in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom, from July 20th to July 23rd, 2025. We invite you to submit workshop proposals on any topic related to the research and application areas covered by the IEEE ICDCS 2025 conference. Topics representing new research areas and directions, e.g., Distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI), Distributed Machine Learning (ML), and its applications in Distributed Computing Systems, Industrial IoT Systems, Cloud, Mobile Computing, Edge Computing, Open and Secure Networking, and Blockchain, are welcome.

All the Workshops will be held in conjunction with the ICDCS 2025 Conference. 

A workshop proposal should consist of a descriptive proposal that is up to 4 pages in length (IEEE 8.5″ x 11″ two-column format using 10pt fonts) in a single PDF file and must contain the following information: 

  • Title of the Workshop. 
  • The names, affiliations, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of the proposed Workshop Organizers. The organizers should consist of at least two persons with a strong track record in the technical issues to be addressed by the workshop. 
  • For each organizer, how likely they think it is that they can attend onsite. 
  • A brief technical description of the workshop, identification of specific technical issues, topics, planned activities, and justification of the workshop timeliness. 
  • Resources required, such as a one-day or half-day workshop, expected number of attendees (room size), whether a panel setup is needed, whether poster boards will be needed, etc. 
  • Names of potential PC members and selection process of participants/presenters. 
  • A tentative Call for Papers with important dates (submission of papers, notifications, potential program committee members, potential speakers, or keynotes, etc.), particularly describing the nature of contributions sought, and their types (research papers, position papers, short papers, demos, etc). 
  • Information about the previous edition of the workshop (if any), including history and frequency of the workshop, previous conference co-locations, URLs, if available, and approximate attendance. 
  • A short biography of each organizer highlighting their expertise and prior experience in workshops and/or similar events. 

Acceptance will be based on an evaluation of the potential of the workshop for generating valuable results, encouraging and fostering interactions among participants during the workshop, the timeliness of and the expected interest in the topic, and the proposers’ ability to lead a successful workshop. 

Organizers are expected to perform additional advertising in related communities outside the main IEEE ICDCS community, create and maintain the workshop website, arrange for the collection and refereeing of submissions, and coordinate the collection and delivery of camera-ready material and IEEE copyright transfers.
