> The 2010 Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing.
> For details see http://www.podc.org/dijkstra/
>
>          Nominations deadline: June 1, 2010.
>
> The Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing is named for 
> Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (1930-2002), a pioneer in the area of distributed 
> computing. His foundational work on concurrency, semaphores, mutual 
> exclusion, deadlock, finding shortest paths in graphs, 
> fault-tolerance, self-stabilization, among many other contributions 
> comprises one of the most important supports upon which the field of 
> distributed computing is built. No other individual has had a larger 
> influence on research in principles of distributed computing.
>
> The prize is given for outstanding papers on the principles of 
> distributed computing, whose significance and impact on the theory 
> and/or practice of distributed computing has been evident for at least 
> a decade. The Prize includes an award of $2000.
>
> The Prize is sponsored jointly by the ACM Symposium on Principles of 
> Distributed Computing (PODC) and the EATCS Symposium on Distributed 
> Computing (DISC). This award is presented annually, with the 
> presentation taking place alternately at ACM PODC and EATCS DISC - 
> this year it will be presented at PODC 2010. The winners of the award 
> will share the cash award, and each winning author will be presented 
> with a plaque. An announcement of each year's prize recipient(s) will 
> be included in the ACM PODC or EATCS DISC proceedings of that year, 
> describing the paper's lasting contributions.

> Nominations and Eligibility
> ---------------------------
> Nominations may be made by any member of the scientific community. 
> Each nomination must identify the paper being nominated and include a 
> few paragraphs (approximately 400 words) justifying the nomination. 
> Papers appearing in any conference proceedings or journal are 
> eligible, as long as they have had a significant impact on research 
> areas of interest within the theory of distributed computing 
> community, and as long as the year of the original publication is at 
> least ten years prior to the year in which the award is given.
>
> Papers authored or co-authored by members of the Award Committee will 
> not be eligible for consideration. Members of the Award Committee will 
> be especially sensitive to conflict-of-interests issues if papers by 
> former students or close colleagues are nominated.
>
> Please send your nomination to the Co-Chairs of the Award Committee, 
> Nancy Lynch ([log in to unmask]) and/or Alex Shvartsman
> ([log in to unmask]). Please mind that the nominations deadline is June 
> 1, 2010.

> Selection Process
> -----------------
> Although the Award Committee is encouraged to consult with the 
> distributed computing community at large, the Award Committee is 
> solely responsible for the selection of the winner of the award. The 
> prize may be shared by more than one paper.  All matters relating to 
> the selection process that are not specified here are left to the 
> discretion of the Award Committee.
