PODC 2023: FIRST CALL FOR WORKSHOPS & TUTORIALS
===============================================
The
42th Annual ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS Symposium on Principles of Distributed
Computing (PODC 2023) invites proposals for full-day and
half-day workshops and tutorials.
They will take place on Monday, June 19, and Friday, June 23, 2023, Orlando, Florida
PODC 2023 will be part of the ACM Federated Computing Research Conference, FCRC 2023.
In particular, it will be co-held with SPAA and STOC.
===============================================
DATES
===============================================
Workshop/Tutorial proposal deadline: January 31, 2023, at 23:59 AoE.
The notification will be provided shortly after the proposal has been sent.
===============================================
INSTRUCTIONS
===============================================
A proposal should include:
- Title of the workshop or tutorial
- A description of the subject matter and why it would be of interest to the PODC community
- Name(s) and contact information of the organizer(s)
- Proposed format (e.g., invited speakers only, or peer-reviewed papers with proceedings, etc.)
- Length: half-day or full-day
- Date preference: June 19 or June 23
- Estimated number of speakers and attendees
- Link to previous editions of the same workshop (if applicable)
We
will be accepting proposals until the end of January 2023. We cannot
guarantee to give consideration to proposals arriving after January 31
as we will begin the process of setting the schedule soon after that
point.
===============================================
SCOPE
===============================================
With
regards to potential topics, we are looking for proposals related to
the current scope of PODC or are new emerging research fields
complementing or extending it, including but not restricted to:
- distributed algorithms: design, analysis, and complexity
- communication networks: algorithms, architectures, services, protocols, applications
- multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
- shared and transactional memory, synchronization protocols, concurrent programming
- fault-tolerance, reliability, availability, self-organization, self-stabilization
- codes and reliable communication
- Internet applications, social networks, recommendation systems
- dynamic, adaptive and machine learning-based distributed algorithms
- distributed operating systems, middleware platforms, databases
- game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
- distributed mechanisms design
- peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks, distributed data management
- high-performance, cluster, cloud and grid computing
- wireless networks, mobile computing, autonomous agents and robots
- context-aware distributed systems
- security in distributed computing, cryptographic protocols
- distributed cryptocurrencies and blockchain protocols
- quantum and optics-based distributed algorithms
- nanonetworks
- biological distributed algorithms
- sensor, mesh, and ad hoc networks
- specification, semantics, verification of concurrent systems
