About The Workshop
Distributed Computing Systems (DCS) have emerged as pivotal tools for effective management in logistics operations. The logistics industry is increasingly dependent on intelligent systems to manage and optimize processes such as transportation scheduling, inventory tracking, and real-time shipment monitoring. As the logistics sector becomes more complex and demands for efficiency increase, the role of intelligent and distributed computing in managing these challenges has grown significantly. This workshop: (1) is timely given the ongoing advancements in smart logistics and their potential to transform logistics management, making it more efficient, secure, and resilient, (2) aims to explore innovative applications and advancements in the integration of distributed and intelligent systems within logistics operations; and (3) will cover the latest research and applications of DCS in addressing the complex and dynamic nature of logistics event management.

Submision Guidelines
Submissions to the workshop must be original and unpublished and must not be submitted concurrently for publication elsewhere. All submissions should follow the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format using 10pt fonts and the IEEE Conference template (downloadable by selecting "Conferences" in the IEEE-Template Selector). Each submission can have up to 8 pages (including figures, tables, appendices, and references). Submissions exceeding this page limit or with smaller fonts will be desk-rejected without review. The review process is single-blind review.
For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to register and attend the workshop in-person to present their paper on-site. No-show paper will be reported to the publisher and removed from the ICDCSW companion conference proceedings. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the IEEE ICDCSW companion conference proceedings and IEEE digital library.
Note that the authors should adhere to ethic and professional standards of IEEE. Please refer to IEEE Code of Ethics and IEEE Policy of AI-Generated Text.
