 Prize for Innovation in Distributed Computing 2021

Awarded by the Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication
Complexity <http://sirocco.hiit.fi/> (SIROCCO).
Call for Prize Nominations

Deadline for nominations: *April 30, 2020*.

Nominations are requested for the *Prize for Innovation In Distributed
Computing*. 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 2021 is
expected to give an invited talk at SIROCCO 2021. The winner of the 2020
edition of the prize (Amos Korman) will give a talk at *SIROCCO *2020
<https://sirocco2020.cs.uni-paderborn.de/> which is going to be held in
June 29 – July 1 in Paderborn, Germany.

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, and Amos Korman.

The prize may not necessarily be awarded every year.
