HOW TO SUBMIT
Electronic submissions are encouraged; information on how to to submit
electronically are available at http://camp.ucsd.edu:8086/.
Authors unable to submit electronically should contact the program chair,
Keith Marzullo, by email, marzullo@cs.ucsd.edu,
to receive instructions.
SCOPE:
We are soliciting research contributions on the design, specification,
implementation, application and theory of distributed
systems. We are continuing to broaden the conference by 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
middleware platforms, operating systems, and databases
-
Multiprocessor/cluster
architectures, algorithms, and performance
-
Distributed
computing issues in the Internet and the Web
-
Hardware, software,
and compiler support for coordination and synchronization
-
Mobile computing
-
Communication
network protocols and architectures
-
High-performance
distributed computing and the computational grid
-
Distributed
algorithms and their complexity
-
Fault tolerance
and availability in distributed systems
-
Distributed
cryptographic and security protocols
Specification,
semantics, and verification of distributed systems
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.
It is recommended that each submission begin with a succinct statement
of the problem, summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of
their significance, all suitable for a non-specialist. Technical
development of the work, directed to the specialist, should follow.
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.
