HOW TO SUBMIT
Electronic submissions are encouraged; go to http://milkyway.math.tau.ac.il:8086/submit.html
for further details. Authors unable to submit electronically should contact
the program chair, Nir Shavit, by email, shanir@math.tau.ac.il, to receive
instructions.
SCOPE:
Research contributions on the theory, design, specification, implementation,
or application of distributed systems are solicited. PODC 2001 differs
from earlier PODCs in that we are actively seeking papers reporting on
the implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of real systems.
We will favor work that explores new territory or reflects on experience
with practical applications of the community's knowledge. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
-
distributed
algorithms and their complexity,
-
fault tolerance
and availability in distributed systems,
-
distributed
cryptographic and security protocols,
-
mobile computing,
-
distributed
computing issues in the Internet and in the Web,
-
communication
network protocols and architectures,
-
multiprocessor/cluster
architectures and algorithms,
-
distributed
middleware platforms, operating systems, and databases,
-
specification,
semantics, and verification of distributed systems,
-
hardware, software,
and compiler support for coordination and synchronization.
Conference presentations will have two formats:
"Regular presentations" of approximately 25
minutes accompanied by papers of up to 10 pages in the proceedings.
This format is intended for contributions reporting on original research,
submitted exclusively to this conference.
"Brief announcements" of approximately 10
minutes accompanied by one page abstracts in the proceedings. This
format is a forum for brief communications, which may be published in other
conferences. Longer versions expanding the brief announcements will
be collected at a web site.
SUBMISSIONS FORMAT
All electronic submissions must be in postscript, and capable of being
previewed by ghostview. The cover page should include
-
title,
-
authors and affiliation,
-
postal and e-mail address of the contact author,
-
a brief abstract describing the work, and
-
at the bottom of the brief abstract, in boldface, an indication
of non-student or student status, and
-
an indication if this is a regular presentation or brief announcement.
A submission for the REGULAR PRESENTATION
format should be no longer than 4,500 words (10 pages on letter-size paper
using at least 11-point font). Additional necessary details
may be included in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion
of the program committee.
A submission for the BRIEF ANNOUNCEMENT format
should be no longer than three pages. Authors of accepted brief announcements
will have the option of placing a full version of their work on the conference
web site.
If requested by the authors, an extended abstract that is not selected
for a regular presentation will also be considered for the brief announcement
format. Such a request will not affect consideration of the paper
for a regular presentation.
Extended abstracts deviating significantly from these guidelines will
be rejected without consideration of their merits. Late papers will
not be read or considered.
BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD
A prize will be given to the best student paper. A paper is eligible
if at least one author is a full-time student at the time of submission.
This must be noted on the cover page. The program committee may decline
to make the award or split it.
