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. SIROCCO 2017 will
be held in
the Porquerolles island, a beautiful location close to Marseille in the
south of France.

The scope of the conference includes the topics: Distributed computing,
communication
networks, game theory, parallel computing, social networks, mobile
computing
(including autonomous robots), peer to peer systems, communication
complexity,
fault tolerance, graph algorithms, and randomized/probabilistic issues
in networks.

The scientific program of SIROCCO 2017 will include 4 invited lectures and
presentations of about 20 contributed papers. The talks will be held
over 3 days,
allowing enough time for scientific discussions and collaborations.

Keynote speakers:

Faith Ellen
Christoph Lenzen
Christian Scheideler

"Prize for Innovation in Distributed Computing" Award Lecture:

Shmuel Zaks

The full conference program will be available soon at:
