PODC solicits brief announcements on all areas of distributed computing. Brief
announcements from all viewpoints, including theory, practice, and
experimentation, are welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:

- distributed algorithms: design, analysis, and complexity
- communication networks: architectures, services, protocols, applications
- multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
- shared and transactional memory, synchronization protocols, concurrent
programming
- fault-tolerance, reliability, availability, self organization
- Internet applications, social networks, recommendation systems
- distributed operating systems, middleware platforms, databases
- game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
- peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks, distributed data management
- high-performance, cluster, cloud and grid computing
- wireless networks, mobile computing, autonomous agents
- context-aware distributed systems
- security in distributed computing, cryptographic protocols
- sensor, mesh, and ad hoc networks
- specification, semantics, verification, and testing of distributed systems

Brief announcements are to be submitted electronically, following the
guidelines available on the conference web page (www.podc.org/podc2011).
A submission for a brief announcement must be no longer than 3 single-column
pages on letter-size paper using at least 11-point font, including title,
authors' names and affiliations, and references. Such submissions may describe
work in progress or work presented elsewhere. A submission that is not
selected for regular presentation may be invited for a brief announcement.

Brief announcements will be included in the conference proceedings (up to 2
letter-size pages).
