Call for Nominations: Prize for Innovation in Distributed Computing 2023

Nominations are requested for the *Prize for Innovation In Distributed
Computing*, awarded by the Colloquium on Structural Information and
Communication Complexity <http://sirocco.hiit.fi/> (SIROCCO).

This prize was established to recognize individuals whose research
contributions expanded the collective investigative horizon in SIROCCO
<http://sirocco.hiit.fi/>’s area of interest. That is, they formulated new
problems, or identified new research areas, that were at the time of their
introduction, unorthodox and outside the mainstream, but later attracted
the interest of the SIROCCO community.

This community is interested in the relationships between information and
efficiency in decentralized computing. The prize recognizes originality,
innovation, and creativity – the qualities that reflect the spirit of the
SIROCCO conference.

The winner of the Prize for Innovation in Distributed Computing 2023 is
expected to give an invited talk at SIROCCO 2023. The winner of the 2022
edition of the prize (Christian Scheideler) will give a talk at *SIROCCO *2022
which will be held in Paderborn June 27 – 29.

Past prize winners are Nicola Santoro, Jean-Claude Bermond, David Peleg,
Roger Wattenhofer, Andrzej Pelc, Pierre Fraigniaud, Michel Raynal, Masafumi
Yamashita, Shmuel Zaks, Zvi Lotker, Paola Flocchini, Amos Korman, Friedhelm
Meyer auf der Heide, and Christian Scheideler.

The prize may not necessarily be awarded every year.

Deadline for nominations: *Extended to May 31, 2022*.
