PODC 2025: FIRST CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS
================================================
The 44th Annual ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC 2025) invites submission of proposals for full-day and half-day workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with PODC 2025. PODC is the premier conference for researchers interested in the foundations of distributed computing and traditionally also hosts a number of workshops and tutorials where researchers can exchange opinions, discuss new results and ideas, and provide in-depth presentations of topics of interest to the community. PODC 2025 will be held in Huatulco, Mexico, June 16-20, 2025. The days reserved for the workshops/tutorials are Monday, June 16, and Friday, June 20.
All proposals will be judged on their merits and a selection of the proposals will be accepted. However, workshops that have been organized at previous iterations of PODC might be given priority (and some of them have already been accepted, on the basis of the success of their previous editions).

DATES
================================================
- Proposal submission deadline: February 21, 2025 (AoE)
- Final notification of acceptance: March 7, 2025
- Date of the workshop/tutorial: June 20, 2025
================================================
INSTRUCTIONS
================================================
The proposals should be sent by e-mail to the Workshop Chairs, Sebastian Brandt <brandt@cispa.de> and Siddhartha Jayanti <siddhartha.visveswara.jayanti@dartmouth.edu>.
A proposal should include:
- Title of the workshop or tutorial
- A description of the subject matter and why it would be of interest to the PODC community
- Name(s) and contact information of the organizer(s)
- Proposed format (e.g., invited speakers only, or peer-reviewed papers with proceedings, etc.)
- Length: half-day or full-day
- Estimated number of speakers and attendees
- Link to previous editions of the same workshop (if applicable)
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Sebastian and Siddhartha.
================================================
SCOPE
================================================
With regards to potential topics, we are looking for proposals related to the current scope of PODC and new emerging research fields complementing or extending it, including but not restricted to:
- distributed algorithms: design, analysis, and complexity
- communication networks: algorithms, architectures, services, protocols, applications
- multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
- concurrency, concurrent and asynchronous algorithms, concurrent programming
- shared and transactional memory, synchronization protocols, concurrent programming
- formal methods, machine-verification, and model-checking in distributed computing and concurrent algorithms
- specification, semantics, verification of concurrent systems
- fault-tolerance, reliability, availability, self-organization, self-stabilization
- distributed computation on graphs and networks
- codes and reliable communication
- internet applications, social networks, recommendation systems
- dynamic, adaptive and machine learning-based distributed algorithms
- distributed operating systems, middleware platforms, databases
- game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
- distributed mechanisms design
- peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks, distributed data management
- high-performance, cluster, cloud and grid computing
- wireless networks, mobile computing, autonomous agents and robots
- context-aware distributed systems
- security in distributed computing, cryptographic protocols
- distributed cryptocurrencies and blockchain protocols
- quantum and optics-based distributed algorithms
- nanonetworks
- biological distributed algorithms
- sensor, mesh, and ad hoc networks
