31st International Colloquium On Structural Information and Communication
Complexity
Vietri sul Mare, Salerno, Italy, May 27--29, 2024
http://sirocco2024.di.unisa.it
*******************************************************************
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 a 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. Previous SIROCCO proceedings can be found here<
https://link.springer.com/conference/sirocco>.
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
decentralized graph algorithms
blockchain protocols
alternative models of decentralized computation
Keeping with the tradition of SIROCCO, new areas are always welcome.

breathtaking landscapes, dramatic cliffs, and rich cultural heritage.
SIROCCO 2024 is pleased to work towards a special arrangement with the
Lloyd's Baia Hotel for participants who wish to extend their stay in the
area.
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.
All submissions must start with a title page consisting of the paper's
title, author names, and a short abstract. Excluding the title page and the
references, submissions should be no longer than 14 pages. Further details
can be added in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the
discretion of the reviewers.
The papers must be submitted in PDF format using EasyChair<

written in English and formatted in a single column on US letter-size or
A4 size paper, use at least 11-point font, and have at least 2.5 cm
margins. Submissions deviating from these guidelines as well as papers
outside the scope of the conference may be rejected without consideration
of their merits.
PROCEEDINGS:
The proceedings of SIROCCO 2024 will be published by Springer in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
SPECIAL ISSUE:
Selected papers from SIROCCO 2024 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,
please state that in the title page. The program committee may decline to
make the awards or may split them among multiple papers.
