*=========================================================*
* The 2023 Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing*
*=========================================================*

http://www.disc-conference.org/wp/dijkstra-prize/

*Nomination deadline*: March 15th, 2023


The Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing is named for Edsger
Wybe
Dijkstra (1930-2002), a pioneer in the area of distributed computing. His
seminal works on concurrency primitives (such as semaphores), concurrency
problems (such as mutual exclusion and deadlock), finding shortest paths in
graphs, fault-tolerance, and self-stabilization are important foundations
upon
which the field of distributed computing is built.

The prize is given for outstanding papers on the principles of distributed
computing, whose significance and impact on the theory and/or practice of
distributed computing has been evident for at least a decade. The Prize
includes an award of $2000.

The Prize is sponsored jointly by the ACM Symposium on Principles of
Distributed Computing (PODC) and the EATCS Symposium on Distributed
Computing
(DISC). This award is presented annually, with the presentation taking
place
alternately at ACM PODC and EATCS DISC. In 2023, it will be presented at
DISC.
The winners of the award will share the cash award, and each winning author
will be presented with a plaque. An announcement of each year's prize
recipient(s) will be included in the PODC and DISC proceedings of that
year,
describing the paper's lasting contributions.

*=========================================================*
* Nominations and Eligibility:*
*=========================================================*

Nominations by any member of the scientific community are eligible, as long
as
the nominated work has had a significant impact on research areas of
interest
within the theory of distributed computing community, and as long as the
year
of the original publication is at least ten years prior to the year in
which
the award is given.

Papers authored or co-authored by members of the Award Committee will not
be
eligible for consideration. Members of the Award Committee can nominate
papers.
However, they must carefully consider nominations from within the
community.
Members of the Award Committee will be especially sensitive to
conflict-of-interests issues if papers by former students or close
colleagues
are nominated. (Members of the Award Committee cannot nominate such papers
themselves.) Self-nominations are not allowed.

The nomination must include a short paragraph (approximately 200 words)
summarizing the contribution of the nominated work. The nomination may
include
additional material, for example, support letters, but its total length
should
not exceed six pages.

Nominations must be sent to the chair of the 2023 Award Committee,
Magnus M. Halldorsson ([log in to unmask]). The nomination deadline is March 15th,
2023.

*=========================================================*
* Selection Process:*
*=========================================================*

Although the Award Committee is encouraged to consult with the distributed
computing community at large, the Award Committee is solely responsible for
the
selection of the winner of the award. The prize may be shared by more than
one
paper. All matters relating to the selection process that are not specified
here are left to the discretion of the Award Committee.

The list of past winners can be found at http://www.podc.org/dijkstra/ and
http://www.disc-conference.org/wp/dijkstra-prize/.
