(Apologies for crosspostings) The DISC deadlines have been extended by a few days (see below). This gives all authors an additional week-end to polish their submissions, and it adds a few days between the PODC camera-ready deadline and the DISC submission deadline. Note that there will not be an additional deadline extension and all deadlines are firm (abstract registration by May 14 is mandatory in order to be able to submit a paper). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS - DISC 2014 - The 28th International Symposium on Distributed Computing October 12-15, 2014 Austin TX, USA http://www.disc-conference.org/wp/disc2014 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DISC is the International Symposium on Distributed Computing, organized in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS).

Submissions must be in English, in .ps or .pdf format, and begin with a cover page (not a cover letter) including: (1) title, (2) authors’ names and affiliations, (3) contact author’s postal and email address, (4) a short abstract of the paper, (5) indication of whether this is a regular paper or a brief announcement, and (6) indication of whether the paper is eligible for best student paper award. A submission for a regular presentation must report on original research that has not previously appeared, and has not been concurrently submitted to a journal or conference with published proceedings. Any overlap with a published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated. A regular submission must not exceed 10 single-column pages using at least 11 point font on letter paper (excluding cover page and references). Authors are expected to include all the ideas necessary for an expert to verify the central claims in the paper. If necessary, the details may appear in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program committee. A brief announcement submission must not exceed 3 pages in the same format. It is permissible for the material in brief announcements to be published in other conferences. Submissions not conforming to these rules and papers outside of the scope of the conference will be rejected without consideration. If requested by the authors on the cover page, a regular submission that is not selected for a regular presentation can be considered for the brief announcement format. Such a request will not affect consideration of the paper for a regular presentation. Publication ----------- The proceedings will be published as a volume in the ARCoSS Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Camera-ready versions of accepted papers must be submitted in the LNCS format. Awards ------ Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper. To be eligible for the best student paper award at least one of the paper authors must be a full-time student at the time of submission, and the student(s) must have made a significant contribution to the paper. ############################ To unsubscribe from the PODC list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://listserv.acm.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ACMLPX.CGI?SUBED1=PODC&A=1
