Call for Papers
18th International Symposium on Distributed Computing
DISC 2004
Amsterdam, Netherlands, October 4 -8, 2004


IMPORTANT DATES
# Submission Deadline: May 15, 2004, 12PM (CET; UTC+1)
# Acceptance Notification: July 5, 2004
# Camera ready copy due: August 5, 2004



DISC, the International Symposium on DIStributed Computing, is an annual
forum for research presentations on all facets of distributed computing.
DISC 2004 is organized in cooperation with the European Association for
Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS).

SCOPE

Original contributions to the theory, design, analysis, implementation,
or application of distributed systems and networks are solicited.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
# distributed algorithms and their complexity
# fault-tolerance of distributed systems
# consistency conditions and synchronization
# multiprocessor/cluster architectures and algorithms
# cryptographic and security protocols for distributed systems
# distributed programing languages
# distributed operating systems
# distributed computing issues on the Internet and the Web
# distributed systems management
# distributed applications such as databases, mobile agents, electronic
commerce, and peer-to-peer networks
# communication network architectures and protocols
# specification, semantics, and verification of distributed systems



PUBLICATION AND PRESENTATION

The symposium program lists all accepted papers--regular and brief
announcements. Brief Announcements get 5 to 10 minutes each and Regular
Papers get 25 minutes each. The symposium proceedings will include only
accepted regular papers and will be published by Springer in its Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series. Extended and revised versions of
selected papers will be considered for a special issue of the
international journal: Distributed Computing

BRIEF ANNOUNCEMENT TRACK

Ongoing work for which full papers are not ready yet or recent results
published elsewhere are suitable for submission as brief announcements.
It is hoped that researchers will use the brief announcement track to
quickly draw the attention of the community to their experiences,
insights and results from ongoing distributed computing research and
projects.

SUBMISSION FORMAT

Every submission, regular or brief, should be in English, begin with a
cover page (not a cover letter), and be followed by an extended
abstract. The cover page must include:
# title,
# the names of all authors and their affiliations,
# contact author's postal address, email address, and telephone number,
# a brief, one paragraph abstract of the paper,
# whether the paper is to be considered for the regular track, the brief
announcement track, or both, and
# whether the submission should be considered for the best student paper
award.

A regular submission's extended abstract should be no longer than 4500
words and not exceed 10 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11
point font and reasonable margins. (The page limit includes all figures,
tables, graphs, and references.) Additional necessary details may be
included in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the
discretion of the program committee.

A brief announcement's extended abstract should not exceed 4 pages using
at least 11 point font and reasonable margins. Submissions deviating
from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their
merits.

It is recommended that the extended abstract begin with a succinct
statement of the problem or the issue being addressed, a summary of the
main results or conclusions, a brief explanation of their significance,
a brief statement of the key ideas, and a comparison with related work,
all tailored to a non-specialist. Technical development of the work,
directed to the specialist, should follow.

SUBMISSION

Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their papers electronically.
Information about how to submit papers will be available on
http://lpdwww.epfl.ch/DISC. Authors who cannot submit electronically
must submit a printed copy to the DISC program chair at the following
address:
Rachid Guerraoui,
EPFL-I&C-LPD,

CH-1015 Lausanne,
Switzerland
Email: [log in to unmask],
Phone:+41-21.693.52.72 Authors submitting hard copies should also send
an e-mail to the program chair indicating that they are submitting in
this manner.

BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD

A paper is eligible for the best student paper award only if it is a
regular submission, one of its authors is a full-time student at the
time of submission and the student's contribution is significant. The
program committee may split this award or decline to make it.
