Theme
=====
SIROCCO is devoted to the study of communication and knowledge in
multi-processor systems from both the qualitative and quantitative
viewpoints. Special emphasis is given to innovative approaches and
fundamental understanding, in addition to efforts to optimize current
designs.
Conference
==========
SIROCCO has a tradition of interesting and productive scientific
meetings in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, attracting leading
researchers in a variety of fields in which communication and
knowledge play a significant role. This year, SIROCCO is held in
Gdansk, a 1000-year old city on the Baltic coast in northern Poland,
with medieval tenements overlooking the Motlawa River.
Scope
=====
Original papers are solicited from all areas of study of local
structural knowledge and global communication and computational
complexities. Among the typical areas are distributed computing,
communication networks, game theory, parallel computing, social
networks, mobile computing (including autonomous robots), peer
to peer systems, communication complexity, fault tolerant graph
theories, and randomized/probabilistic issues in networks. Keeping
with the tradition of SIROCCO, new areas are always welcome.
SIROCCO Award
=============
The Prize for Innovation In Distributed Computing is awarded annually
in the SIROCCO conference to recognize individuals whose research
contributions had a major impact on the understanding of the
relationships between information and efficiency in decentralized
computing. Only authors of papers that were published in SIROCCO are
eligible to receive the award. More details are available in the
SIROCCO 2011 web site.
Invited speakers
================
* Colin Cooper (King's College London, UK)
* The recipient of the Prize for Innovation In Distributed Computing
