Important dates
Submission deadline: Monday, 27 February, 2012 (23:59 EDT)
Author notification: 31 March, 2012
Camera-ready submission: 21 April, 2012
Conference dates: 30 June - 2 July, 2012
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
Reykjavík, Iceland.
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 up 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 2012 web site.
Invited talks
To be announced.
Submission
Full papers are to be submitted electronically using the EasyChair server.
The link is https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=sirocco2012
Submission guidelines are available in the conference web page.
Authors are invited to submit their work in one of the three
acceptable formats: novel research contributions, position papers, and
surveys. Original research papers must contain results that have not
previously appeared and have not been concurrently submitted to a
journal or conference with published proceedings. In all cases, any
partial overlap with any published or concurrently submitted paper
must be clearly indicated.
Submissions are limited to 12 single-column pages on letter/A4-size
paper (using at least 11 point font, 1 inch margins, standard line
spacing). This includes figures, but excludes references and an
optional appendix (to be read at the program committee's discretion).
Publication
As in previous years, the proceedings of SIROCCO 2012 will be published by
Springer-Verlag as a volume of the LNCS series. Information for LNCS
Authors can found here.
Selected papers are planned to be invited to a special issue of the
journal Theoretical Computer Science.
