SCOPE
Original contributions to the theory, design, analysis, implementation, or application of distributed systems and networks are solicited.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
# distributed algorithms and their complexity # fault-tolerance of distributed systems # multiprocessor/cluster architectures and algorithms # distributed operating systems # distributed computing issues on
- the Internet
- the Web
- small worlds
# distributed systems management
# distributed applications such as:
- peer-to-peer networks
- databases
- mobile agents
# communication network architectures and protocols # distributed programing languages # specification, semantics, and verification of distributed systems # cryptographic and security protocols for distributed systems # consistency conditions and synchronization
REGULAR PAPERS AND BRIEF ANNOUNCEMENTS
Regular papers must present original work not previously published, and not concurrently submitted elsewhere for publication (conference or journal).
Ongoing work for which full papers are not ready yet or recent results published elsewhere are suitable for submission as brief announcements. It is hoped that researchers will use the brief announcement track to quickly draw the attention of the community to their experiences, insights and results from ongoing distributed computing research and projects.
PUBLICATION AND PRESENTATION
The symposium program lists all accepted papers--regular and brief announcements. Brief Announcements get 5 to 10 minutes each, and 2 pages in the proceedings. Regular Papers get 25 minutes each, and 15 pages in the proceedings. The symposium proceedings will include accepted Regular Papers and Brief Announcements, and will be published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
Extended and revised versions of selected papers will be considered for a special issue of the ACM - Springer Verlag journal: Distributed Computing.
