SIROCCO 2020 CALL FOR PAPERS

Paderborn, Germany, June 29 - July 1, 2020

https://sirocco2020.cs.upb.de

Abstract submission deadline: March 6, 2020
Paper submission deadline: March 11, 2020
*******************************************************************

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 Paderborn, Germany.

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.

BEST PAPER AWARDS:

All regular papers are eligible for the best paper award. Moreover, all regular papers that have at least one student author, and these student authors have done most of the work, are also eligible for the best student paper award. If a submission is eligible for the best student paper award, then clearly state that below the title. The program committee may decline to make the awards or may split them among multiple papers. Springer will sponsor the best paper and best student paper awards by a total of EUR 1000.-.

SUBMISSION:

Papers must be prepared using the LNCS style. Authors should consult Springer's authors' guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer's proceedings LaTeX templates are also available in Overleaf. The papers must be submitted in PDF format using EasyChair. Two types of papers can be submitted: Regular Papers and Brief Announcements. A submission for a regular presentation must report on original research and contain results that have not appeared previously in a regular paper (but brief announcements are fine) and have not been concurrently submitted to a journal or a conference with published proceedings.

Submissions for regular papers should be no longer than 16 pages (including the title, authors, abstract, figures, and references); further details can be added in a clearly marked appendix if needed. If the paper is eligible for the best student paper award (see the rules above), please state that below the title. Brief announcements are restricted to 3 pages, with no appendix, and the title must start with "Brief Announcement:...". Submissions deviating from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. If requested by the authors, a regular submission that is not selected for a regular paper will also be considered for a brief announcement. This request must be clearly indicated on the title page of the paper. Such a request will not affect consideration of the paper for a regular paper.

PUBLICATION:

The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (http://www.springer.com/lncs).

IMPORTANT DATES:

- Abstract submission due: March 6, 2020 (AoE)
- Paper submission due: March 11, 2020 (AoE)
- Notification of acceptance: May 1, 2020
- Conference dates: June 29 - July 1, 2020
