Call for Demos and Exhibits
ICDCN 2027, the 28th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking, welcomes submissions of industrial applications and research prototypes for live demonstration in the Demos and Exhibits session. We invite both industry and academia to showcase innovative technologies, platforms, simulations, frameworks, analysis tools, working prototypes, and proof-of-concept implementations for emerging applications related to distributed computing and networking technologies.
Proposals will be selected based on technical merit, innovation, and potential to stimulate discussion. This session offers a platform to introduce new work and interact directly with conference attendees.
What to Showcase
Industrial Applications
Live demos of industry-grade deployments and production-ready systems in distributed computing or networking.
Research Prototypes
Working prototypes and proof-of-concept implementations demonstrating novel research ideas and early results.
Tools & Frameworks
Platforms, simulation environments, analysis tools, and frameworks that support distributed computing research.
Emerging Applications
Proof-of-concept systems for next-generation distributed and networked applications targeting future use cases.
Topics of Interest
We welcome all topics that align with the ICDCN 2027 main conference topics of interest. See the Call for Papers for the full list of topics.

Word and LaTeX templates are available at acm.org/publications/proceedings-template . The camera-ready page limit is also 2 pages including references.
Single-Blind Review
Paper reviewing is single-blind. Submissions should list author names, affiliations, and email addresses on the front page.
Submission Portal
Submit via EasyChair at easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icdcn2027 . Select "ICDCN 2027 — Demos and Exhibits" as the submission track.
ACM Open Access Publishing
Important note to authors about the new ACM open access publishing model
ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions not yet part of the ACM Open program and who do not qualify for a waiver will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether an APC will be applicable, see the guidance at acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance .
