========================= *CALL FOR PAPERS* ============================
20th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems
(OPODIS 2016)
13-16 DecEMBER 2016,
Madrid, Spain
http://opodis2016.etsisi.upm.es
***@easychair.org
OPODIS solicits papers in all aspects of distributed systems, including
theory, specification, design,
performance, and system building. With a strong background in the theory
of distributed systems,
OPODIS has recently expanded its scope to cover the whole range between
the theoretical aspects and
practical implementations of distributed systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
⢠Design and analysis of distributed algorithms
⢠Synchronization, concurrent algorithms, shared and transactional memory
⢠Design and analysis of concurrent and distributed data structures
⢠Communication networks (protocols, architectures, services, applications)
⢠High-performance, cluster, cloud and grid computing
⢠Mesh and ad-hoc networks (wireless, mobile, sensor), location and
context-aware systems
⢠Mobile agents, robots, and rendezvous
⢠Internet applications, social systems, peer-to-peer and overlay networks
⢠Distributed operating systems, middleware, and distributed database
systems
⢠Programming languages, formal methods, specification and verification
applied to distributed systems
⢠Embedded and energy-efficient distributed systems
⢠Distributed event processing
⢠Distributed storage and file systems, large-scale systems, and big
data analytics
⢠Dependable distributed algorithms and systems
⢠Self-stabilization, self-organization, autonomy
⢠Security and privacy, cryptographic protocols
⢠Game-theory and economical aspects of distributed computing
⢠Randomization in distributed computing
⢠Biological distributed algorithms
Important Dates
Abstract registration: August 15, 2016
Submission deadline: August 22, 2016
Acceptance notification: October 27, 2016
Final version due: November 21, 2016
Conference: December 13-16, 2016, Madrid, Spain
Submissions
Papers are to be submitted electronically through Easychair at the
following link
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=opodis2016. Submissions must be
in English in pdf format and
they must be prepared using the LaTeX style templates for LIPIcs
(https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/)
and choosing the A4 paper option. A
submission must not exceed 16 pages, including the cover page, figures,
tables and references. The cover
page should include the title of the paper, the authorsâ names,
affiliations and e-mails, an abstract,
information about the contact author, and a list of keywords.
Additional details may be included in a clearly marked appendix or as
supplementary material which will
be read at the discretion of the reviewers. Submissions are expected to
be intelligible and complete
without such additional details.
A submission must report on original research that has not previously
appeared in a journal or conference
with published proceedings. It should not be concurrently submitted to
such a journal or conference. Any
overlap with a published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly
indicated. The Program Chairs
reserve the right to reject submissions that are out of scope, or of
clearly inferior quality, or that violate
the submission guidelines. Each of the remaining papers will undergo a
thorough reviewing process.
Publication
OPODIS has post-proceedings published by Leibniz International
Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) in
gold open access mode. The proceedings become available online, free of
charge, after the conference.
Preliminary versions of the proceedings will be available to
participants at the conference electronically.
The camera-ready version of a paper must have the same format and be of
the same length as its
submitted version. Extended and revised versions of selected papers will
be considered for a special issue
of Theoretical Computer Science (Elsevier).
Best Paper Award
OPODIS features a best paper award. All accepted papers will be
evaluated for the best paper award. The
best paper award aims to encourage work that combines theory and
practice and demonstrates excellence
of research in at least one of these two areas. Such work could be an
advance in theory that sheds lights
on an interesting system problem or an advance in system work that
builds upon strong theoretical results
