[DMANET] Call for Papers: SIROCCO 2021

*28th International Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication
Complexity (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.

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, and communication complexity.
Keeping with the tradition of SIROCCO, new areas are always welcome.

Important Dates

Submission deadline: 26 November 2020, AoE

Notification: 28 January 2021

Camera ready deadline: 25 February 2021

Submission instructions

A submission must report on original research and contain results that have
not appeared previously in a regular conference paper and have not been
concurrently submitted to a journal or a conference with published
proceedings.

Submissions 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 below), please state that below the
title. Submissions deviating from these guidelines will be rejected without
consideration of their merits.

The papers must be submitted in PDF format using EasyChair(
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sirocco2021). Submissions must
be in English, formatted in a sin­gle column on US letter-size or A4 size
paper, use at least 11-point font (including abstract and references), and
have at least 2.5 cm margins. Submissions not conforming to these rules as
well as papers outside of the scope of the conference will be rejected
with­out consideration.

Proceedings

The proceedings are expected to be published in the Springer Lecture Notes
in Computer Science series (LNCS).

Special Issue

Selected papers from SIROCCO 2021 will be invited to a special issue of the
Theoretical Computer Science journal.

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.
