NCSS Workshop

The 14th International Workshop on Networking, Computing, Systems, and Software

To be held in conjunction with CANDAR'23

The primary objective of this workshop is to provide a timely platform for the exchange and dissemination of innovative ideas, techniques, and research within the domains of networking, computing, systems, and software. We welcome original and unpublished works, as well as:

• position papers,
• undergoing work,
• preliminary version of a paper, and
• extended version of previously published paper.

Please note that this workshop operates on a non-refereed basis, meaning that all submitted papers will be accepted for publication and presentation, provided they adhere to the standards of well-formatted technical papers in the area of computing and networking. Authors bear the responsibility for the originality, significance, clarity, and quality of their submissions. Submitted papers will be published as-is. For clarity, please append “(preliminary version)” or “(extended version)” to the paper title if applicable.
