Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged. Submission instructions appear here. Authors unable to submit electronically should contact the program chair, James Aspnes (aspnes at cs.yale.edu), to receive instructions.
PODC does not allow anonymous submissions. Submissions are considered confidential, and are only distributed for the purposes of evaluating whether they are appropriate for presentation at PODC. It is expected that at least one of the authors of each accepted paper will attend the conference and present the paper.
All submissions must be in Postscript or PDF format. On the cover page, include
In addition, please indicate in boldface whether any author is a member of the program committee, and, for a regular presentation, whether it is eligible for the best student paper award (see details below), and whether it should be considered a brief announcement (if not accepted as a regular presentation).
All submissions must report on original research. A submission for a regular presentation must be no longer than 10 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11-point font. The cover page does not count toward this limit. Additional details may be included in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Papers submitted for regular presentations must not have previously appeared in a journal or conference with published proceedings and must not be concurrently submitted to any other conference. Any partial overlap with any such published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated.
A submission for a brief announcement must be no longer than 3 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11-point font. Such submissions may describe work in progress or work presented elsewhere. If requested by the authors, a submission that is not selected for regular presentation may also be considered for a brief announcement. Such a request will not affect consideration of the paper for regular presentation.
Posters and demonstrations are also solicited; details will appear on the conference web page.
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, and the contribution of the student is significant. This must be noted on the cover page. The program committee may decline to make the award or split it.
