DISC 2011

September 20-22, 2011, Rome, Italy

DISC, the International Symposium on Distributed

Computing, is an international forum on the theory,

design, modeling, analysis, implementation, and

application of distributed systems and networks. DISC is

organized in cooperation with the European Association

for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS).

Dates (preliminary):

Registration & abstract submission April 20, 2011

Submission April 27, 2011

Acceptance notification June 23, 2011

Camera ready copy due July 7, 2011

Program: The program will include keynote lectures,

regular presentations of 25 minutes (accompanied by

papers of up to 15 pages in the proceedings), and brief

announcements of 5 to 10 minutes (accompanied by two

page abstracts in the proceedings). Satellite workshops

will be held on the day before and the day after DISC.

Awards: Awards will be given to the best paper and the

best student paper. A paper is eligible for the best student

paper award if at least one of its authors is a full-time

student at the time of submission.

Publication: The proceedings will be published as a volume in

the ARCoSS Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Accepted papers must be submitted in the LNCS format.

Participants will receive a copy of the final proceedings.

Scope: Original contributions to theory, design, implementation,

modeling, analysis, or application of distributed systems and

networks are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not

limited to:

? Distributed algorithms; correctness and complexity

? Concurrency, synchronization, and transactional memory

? Distributed operating systems, middleware, database systems

? Self-stabilizing, self-organizing, and autonomic systems

? Wireless, mobile, sensor and ad-hoc networks

? Fault tolerance, reliability, availability

? Game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing

? Specification, verification, and testing: tools, methodologies

? Networks: protocols, architectures, services, applications

? Multiprocessor and multicore architectures and algorithms

? Security in distributed computing, cryptographic protocols

? Distributed computing issues in the Internet and the Web

? Mobile agents and autonomous robots

Submission: Papers are to be submitted electronically, following

the guidelines on the conference web page (to be announced).

Every submission must be in English, in .ps or .pdf format, and

begin with a cover page (not a cover letter) including: (1) title,

(2) authors’ names and affiliations, (3) contact author’s postal and

email address, and telephone number, (4) one paragraph abstract

of the paper, (5) indication of whether this is a regular paper or a

brief announcement, (6) indication of whether the paper is eligible

for best student paper award.

A submission for a regular presentation must report on original

research that has not previously appeared, and has not been

concurrently submitted to a journal or conference with published

proceedings. Any overlap with a published or concurrently

submitted paper must be clearly indicated. A regular submission

must not exceed 10 single-column pages using at least 11 point

font on letter paper (excluding cover page and references).

Authors are expected to include all the ideas necessary for an

expert to verify the central claims in the paper. If necessary, the

details may appear in a clearly marked appendix, which will be

read at the discretion of the program committee.

A brief announcement submission must not exceed 3 pages in the

same format. It is permissible for the material in brief

announcements to be published in other conferences.

Submissions not conforming to these rules and papers outside of

the scope of the conference will be rejected without consideration.

If requested by the authors on the cover page, a regular

submission that is not selected for a regular presentation can be

considered for the brief announcement format. Such a request will

not affect consideration of the paper for a regular presentation.

Workshops and tutorials: Proposals for satellite workshops and

tutorials are welcome.
