23rd Annual ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS Symposium on
Principles Of Distributed Computing

(PODC 2004)

The time allocated to a regular paper is 25 minutes including questions and answers. It is suggested that a presenter plans for a 20 minutes presentation, and leaves 5 minutes for questions and answers. The time for a brief announcement presentation is 5 minutes, and it is suggested that questions and answers will be taken off line.
