2nd CALL FOR PAPERS

***********************************************************************
SIROCCO 2017

24th International Colloquium on Structural Information and
Communication Complexity

June 19-22, 2017
Porquerolles, France

http://sirocco2017.lif.univ-mrs.fr/
***********************************************************************

IMPORTANT DATES

- Paper submission due: April 1, 2017 (UTC-12)
- Notification of acceptance: May 10, 2017
- Conference dates: June 19-22, 2017


SIROCCO is devoted to the study of the interplay between structural
knowledge,
communication, and computing in decentralized systems of multiple
communicating
entities. Special emphasis is given to innovative approaches leading to
better
understanding of the relationship between computing and communication.
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
will be
held in the Porquerolles island, a beautiful location close to
Marseille, France.

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.


SUBMISSION:
Papers are to be submitted electronically through EasyChair at

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sirocco2017

Submission instructions and guidelines are available at 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. All submissions must be in
English,
in PDF format, using one the following layouts:

- Cover page + 10 pages + references, letter or A4 paper, single column,
at least 11-point font, at least 1-inch margins, reasonable line spacing.

- 15 pages in LNCS style.

Additional details may be included in an appendix, to be read at the
programme committee's discretion.


PROCEEDINGS:
The post-proceedings of SIROCCO 2017 will be published by Springer in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS) after the conference.
We will also prepare an informal pre-proceedings volume with
author-prepared versions of the papers. The pre-proceedings will be
freely available online on the conference web page before the conference.


SPECIAL ISSUE:
Selected papers from SIROCCO 2017 will be invited to a special issue of
the Theoretical Computer Science journal.


BEST PAPER AWARD:
The authors of the best paper will be awarded a prize of 1000 EUR (in
total, to be split among the authors), sponsored by Springer. The
program committee may choose to split the award among multiple papers.
