======================================
DATES (all times are AoE)
======================================
All deadlines are at 23:59 AoE in the year 2023.
Abstract submission: January 6th
Full paper submission: January 10th
Notification: March 30th
======================================
PHYSICAL ATTENDANCE
======================================
The conference will be physical-only. For each accepted paper (full paper
or brief announcement), one of the authors is expected to give the
conference presentation on-site. There are currently no plans for zoom
access.
======================================
SCOPE
======================================
The ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing is an
international forum on the theory, design, analysis, implementation and
application of distributed systems and networks. We solicit papers in all
areas of distributed computing. Papers from all viewpoints, including
theory, practice, and experimentation, are welcome. The goal of the
conference is to improve understanding of the principles underlying
distributed computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
the following:
- biological distributed algorithms and systems
- blockchain protocols
- coding and reliable communication
- communication networks
- concurrency, synchronization, and persistence
- design and analysis of distributed algorithms
- distributed and cloud storage
- distributed and concurrent data structures
- distributed computation for large-scale data
- distributed graph algorithms
- distributed machine learning algorithms
- distributed operating systems, middleware, databases
- distributed resource management and scheduling
- fault-tolerance, reliability, self-organization, and self-stabilization
- game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
- high-performance, cluster, cloud and grid computing
- internet applications
- languages, verification, and formal methods for distributed systems
- lower bounds and impossibility results for distributed computing
- mobile computing and autonomous agents
- multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
- peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks, and social networks
- population protocols
- quantum and optics based distributed algorithms
- replication and consistency
- security and cryptography in distributed computing
- specifications and semantics
- system-on-chip and network-on-chip architectures
- transactional memory
- wireless, sensor, mesh, and ad hoc networks
======================================
PAPER SUBMISSION
======================================
A submitted paper should clearly motivate the importance of the problem
being addressed, discuss prior work and its relationship to the paper,
explicitly and precisely state the paper's key contributions, and outline
the key technical ideas and methods used to achieve the main claims. A
submission should strive to be accessible to a broad audience, as well as
having sufficient details for experts in the area.
Regular Papers: A regular paper must report on original research that has
not been previously published. It is not permitted to submit the same
material concurrently to journals or conferences with proceedings. Format
and length requirements for submissions are stated below. All ideas
necessary for an expert to fully verify the central claims in a paper,
including experimental results, should be included in the submission.
Brief Announcements: A brief announcement may describe work in progress or
work presented elsewhere. The title of a brief announcement must begin with
"Brief Announcement: ".
Submissions not conforming to the rules stated in this call, as well as
papers outside the scope of the conference, may be rejected without
consideration.
Submission Format: Submissions must be prepared in LaTeX and use the
official ACM Master article template acmart.cls, version of 1.80 or
greater, using the following documentclass instruction:
\documentclass[acmsmall,nonacm,anonymous]{acmart}
The template is available at
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. No modifications of
the format or style are allowed. Sample files are available on the PODC
website at https://www.podc.org/data/podc2023/PODC2023-sample.zip
Regular paper submissions may be up to 15 pages long, excluding references,
and may be followed by a clearly marked appendix. Each submission must
contain full proofs of all claims in the paper. The appendix will be read
at the discretion of the reviewers.
Brief announcement submissions must be at most 4 pages long, excluding
references.
Best practices for citations: Alphabetical orderings of authors can lead to
biases. Therefore, authors are encouraged to avoid "et al." in citations,
and instead mention all authors' names.
======================================
DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEWING
======================================
The conference will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.
Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In
particular, authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses should not
appear anywhere in the submission. Nothing should be done in the name of
anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the
paper more difficult. In particular, important references should not be
omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate
their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For
example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web, submit them to
arXiv, and give talks on their research ideas. Authors with further
questions on double-blind reviewing are encouraged to contact the PC chair
by email.
======================================
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
======================================
Indications of conflicts of interest will be required in the submission
form.
A conflict of interest is limited to the following:
- A family member or close friend.
- A Ph.D. advisor or advisee (no time limit), or postdoctoral or
undergraduate mentor or mentee within the past five years.
- A person with the same affiliation.
- A person involved in an alleged incident of harassment. (It is not
required that the incident be reported.)
- Frequent collaborators, or collaborators who have jointly published
papers within the last two years.
If you feel that you have a valid reason for a conflict of interest not
listed above, contact the PC chair or one of the Theory of Computing
Advocates affiliated with this conference (Faith Ellen and Idit Keidar).
The PC chair may request that a ToC advocate confidentially verify the
reason for a conflict of interest.
======================================
PUBLICATION
======================================
Accepted regular papers of up to 10 pages and brief announcements of up to
3 pages in two-column ACM proceedings format will be included in the
conference proceedings. They must be formatted with the ACM Master
templates using
\documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}.
If more space than available in the proceedings for an accepted paper is
needed, a full version must be available publicly, e.g. on arXiv, by the
due date for the proceedings version, and the proceedings version must
refer to this.
The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made
available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks
prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date
affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
Extended and revised versions of selected papers will be considered for a
special issue of the journal Distributed Computing. Up to two papers will
be selected to be considered for publication in the Journal of the ACM.
