IEEE ICDCS is the leading and premier international conference focusing on distributed computing systems. ICDCS is the oldest conference in the field of distributed computing systems in the world. It was launched by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing (TCDP) in October 1979, and is sponsored by such committee becoming an annual conference since 1983.

The ICDCS has a long history of significant achievements and worldwide visibility, and will celebrate its 45th year in Glasgow, Scotland. It provides a research and social venue for researchers, academics, and professionals to present and discuss the latest research in the field. The conference covers important topics including Distributed AI, Data-centric AI/ML, Distributed Data Science, Intelligence at Edge, Federated Learning Systems, and more. As the world is increasingly moving towards the adoption and integration of AI across various sectors, it is important to host conferences in the field. These events play a significant role in advancing the field and fostering collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals. This will also serve as a platform to highlight the strength and vision of the University of Glasgow and the city of Glasgow.
