PODC 2014 Third Call for Papers
=======================================================================
The 33rd ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS
Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC 2014)
July 15-19, 2014
Paris, France
http://www.podc.org/
=======================================================================
Deadlines:
Submission: February 10, 2014
Notification: April 20, 2014
Camera-ready: May 13, 2014
All times refer to 23:59 in Honolulu, Hawaii (time zone HAST).
=======================================================================
Original contributions to the theory, design, analysis,
implementation, or application of distributed systems and networks,
in particular conceptual innovative results are solicited.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- algorithms for distributed systems and their complexity
- cluster, cloud, grid and high-performance computing
- communication networks: protocols, architectures, services,
applications
- concurrent programming, synchronization, shared and transactional
memory
- cryptographic protocols and system security
- distributed operating systems, databases and programming languages
- dynamic, adaptive and machine learning based distributed algorithms
- formal methods, semantics and verification of concurrent systems
- fault tolerance, reliability, availability of distributed systems
- game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
- information theory, codes and reliable communication
- Internet applications, social networks and complex networks
- multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
- nanonetworks and biological distributed algorithms
- quantum and optics based distributed algorithms
- self-stabilizing, self-organizing and autonomic systems
- sensor, mobile, ad-hoc, robot and peer-to-peer networks
Conference presentations will have two formats:
Regular presentations of 25 minutes accompanied by papers of up to 10
pages in the proceedings. This form is intended for contributions
reporting on original research, submitted exclusively to this
conference.
Brief announcements of 5 to 10 minutes accompanied by two page
abstracts in the proceedings. This format is a forum for brief
communications, which may be published in other conferences.
Submission:
Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines
available on the conference web page. Authors unable to submit
electronically should contact the program chair to receive
instructions.
Each submission must be in English, in PDF format, and begin with a
cover page including: (1) the title, (2) the names and affiliations
of all authors, (3) contact author's email, address and telephone
number, (4) a brief, one paragraph abstract of the paper, (5)
indication whether the paper is a regular submission, or a brief
announcement submission, (6) indication whether the submission is
eligible to be considered for the best student paper award.
A regular submission must not exceed 10 single-column pages (excluding
cover page and references). Additional necessary details may be
included in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the
discretion of the program committee. A brief announcement submission
must not exceed 3 single-column pages. All submissions must use at
least 11-point font and have reasonable margins. Any submission
deviating from these guidelines will be rejected without
consideration of its merit.
It is recommended that a regular submission begin with a succinct
statement of the problem or the issue being addressed, a summary of
the main results or conclusions, a brief explanation of their
significance, a brief statement of the key ideas, and a comparison
with related work, all tailored to a non-specialist. Technical
development of the work, directed to the specialist, should follow.
Papers outside of the conference scope will be rejected without review.
If requested by the authors on the cover page, a regular submission
that is not selected for a regular presentation will also be
considered for the brief announcement format. This will not affect
consideration of the paper for a regular presentation.
Publication:
Regular papers and brief announcements will be included in the
conference proceedings. Extended and revised versions of selected
papers will be considered for a special issue of the Distributed
Computing journal. Two papers will be considered for publication in
JACM.
Best paper and best student paper awards:
Prizes will be given to the best paper, the best student paper and the
best presentation. A paper is eligible for the best student paper
award if at least one of its authors is a full-time student at the
time of submission. This must be indicated in the cover page. The
program committee may decline to confer the awards or may split awards.
