About
The emergence of 6G communication systems is transforming the future of pervasive computing by enabling intelligent, context-aware, and highly distributed Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems. Future pervasive applications will rely on seamless collaboration among edge devices, cloud platforms, terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, AI-driven services, and cyber-physical systems to deliver scalable, resilient, and intelligent services.
The 5th International Workshop on Distributed Computing for Intelligent and Pervasive 6G IoT Networks (6DCIoT 2027) provides a premier interdisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to present innovative research addressing distributed intelligence, pervasive computing, edge AI, and next-generation IoT systems enabled by 6G.
The workshop aims to foster collaboration across the communities of pervasive computing, distributed systems, artificial intelligence, communication networks, and Internet of Things, while identifying emerging research challenges and future directions.
