DISC is an International Symposium on Distributed Computing, organized in
cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science
(EATCS).
* Important Dates
Abstract Registration: May 3, 2018 (AoE)
Paper Submission: May 12, 2018 (AoE)
Notification Full Paper: July 12, 2018
Notification Submitted & Invited BAs: July 19, 2018
Camera-Ready Submission: August 5, 2018 (AoE)
Main Conference: October 16-18, 2018
Note that the abstract registration and submission deadlines of DISC'18
have been set to give authors of PODC'18-rejected papers sufficient time
for thoroughly revising their papers before re-submitting them to DISC.
However, the rules prevent double-submitting a paper to both SIROCCO'18 and
to DISC'18.
* Scope
Original contributions to theory, design, implementation, modeling,
analysis, or application of distributed systems and networks are solicited.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Distributed computing theory, computability, knowledge
Concurrency and synchronization, transactional memory
Distributed algorithms and data structures: correctness and complexity
Distributed graph algorithms, dynamic networks, network science
Multiprocessor and multicore parallel architectures and algorithms
Circuits, Systems on chip and networks on chip
Wireless, mobile, sensor and ad-hoc networks
Fault tolerance and self-stabilization, reliability, availability
Security in distributed computing, cryptographic protocols
Block chain and other recent distributed paradigms
Game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
Formal verification, synthesis and testing: methodologies, tools
Distributed operating systems, middleware, and distributed programming
Distributed databases, big data, cloud and peer-to-peer computing
Mobile agents, autonomous distributed systems, swarm robotics
Biological and nature-inspired distributed algorithms
Machine learning and distributed computing
* Submission
Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines on the
conference web page. Submissions must be in English and in .pdf format, and
must indicate on the first page if the paper is eligible for the best
student paper award. By registering the abstract for a regular submission,
the authors declare that the submission will report on original research
that has not previously appeared and is not currently under review for (or
concurrently submitted to) a journal or a conference with published
proceedings. Any overlap with a published or concurrently submitted paper
must be clearly indicated. Submissions for regular papers must be formatted
in accordance with the LIPIcs proceedings guidelines and not exceed 15
pages (excluding references). Authors are expected to include all the ideas
necessary for an expert to verify the central claims in the paper. An
appendix is not allowed, but providing a full version on arXiv (or a
similar public archive like HAL, for instance) is encouraged. LIPIcs
typesetting instructions can be found here and the lipics.cls LaTeX style
here. Submissions not conforming to these guidelines (in particular, ones
that modify the style for saving space) and papers outside of the scope of
the conference will be rejected without consideration.
A brief announcement submission must not exceed 3 pages (including
references) in the same LIPIcs format, with a title starting with "Brief
Announcement:". The material in brief announcements can be published later
on in other conferences or journals. A regular submission that is not
selected for a regular presentation may be invited by the PC for the brief
announcements track.
* Publication
The proceedings will be published by LIPIcs. Accepted papers and brief
announcements must be presented by one of the authors, with a full
registration, at the conference site, and according to the final schedule.
Any submission accepted into the technical program but not presented
on-site will be withdrawn from the final proceedings.
* Awards
Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper. To be
eligible for the best student paper award at least one of the paper authors
must be a full-time student at the time of submission, and the student(s)
must have made a significant contribution to the paper.
