CANDAR 2022

The Tenth International Symposium on Computing and Networking

Himeji, Japan, from November 21 to 24 21 to 22, 2022.

Arcrea HIMEJI (Himeji Culture and Convention Center)

Although the infection situation of COVID-19 is getting better, CANDAR 2022 will follow the authorities' infection control measures guidelines, in particular:

• Social distance measures:
  • The symposium will be held in a hybrid format using Zoom.
  • The symposium will be shortened to two days.
  • Every poster paper will be arranged into one of the oral presentation sessions.
  • No social events such as banquets, excursions, or snacks will be provided.

• Protective measures:
  • If you have a fever or other COVID-19 symptoms, you may still participate remotely via Zoom. In case the registered participant is not able to present the paper, a co-author will be allowed to present in his/her place.
  • On-site participants are required to wear masks and always keep social distancing.

Following the success of past CANDAR symposiums 2013 in Matsuyama, 2014 in Shizuoka, 2015 in Sapporo, 2016 in Hiroshima, 2017 in Aomori, 2018 in Takayama, 2019 in Nagasaki, 2020 and 2021 in virtual, CANDAR 2022 will be held in Himeji, Japan. CANDAR 2022 will serve as a forum for exchanging the latest findings and experiences ranging from theoretical research to practical system development in all aspects of computing and networking including parallel and distributed systems, algorithms, architectures, and applications. In addition to technical sessions consisting of contributed papers, the symposium will include invited presentations, poster sessions, tutorials, and workshops. We believe that participants will get new ideas and insight of computing and networking. CANDAR'22　will be held in Himeji, Japan, from November 21-22, 2022.

The main symposium Proceedings (CANDAR) and workshop Proceedings (CANDARW) will be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and submitted to IEEE Xplore and CSDL digital libraries. Also they are submitted for indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and other indexing services. They are published in two separated volumes: CANDAR main symposium (CANDAR) and CANDAR Workshops (CANDARW).
