========================= *CALL FOR PAPERS*
============================   20th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems  Â (OPODIS 2016)   Â 13-16 December 2016,  Â Madrid, Spain  Â http://opodis2016.etsisi.upm.es  Â opodis2016@xxxxxxxxxxxxx   OPODIS solicits papers in all aspects of distributed systems, including theory, specification, design, performance, and system building. With a strong background in the theory of distributed systems, OPODIS has recently expanded its scope to cover the whole range between the theoretical aspects and practical implementations of distributed systems.   Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:  â Design and analysis of distributed algorithms â Synchronization, concurrent algorithms, shared and transactional memory â Design and analysis of concurrent and distributed data structures â Communication networks (protocols, architectures, services, applications) â High-performance, cluster, cloud and grid computing â Mesh and ad-hoc networks (wireless, mobile, sensor), location and context-aware systems â Mobile agents, robots, and rendezvous â Internet applications, social systems, peer-to-peer and overlay networks â Distributed operating systems, middleware, and distributed database systems â Programming languages, formal methods, specification and verification applied to distributed systems â Embedded and energy-efficient distributed systems â Distributed event processing â Distributed storage and file systems, large-scale systems, and big data analytics â Dependable distributed algorithms and systems â Self-stabilization, self-organization, autonomy â Security and privacy, cryptographic protocols â Game-theory and economical aspects of distributed computing â Randomization in distributed computing â Biological distributed algorithms   Important Dates  Abstract registration: August 15, 2016 Submission deadline: August 22, 2016 Acceptance notification: October 27, 2016 Final version due: November 21, 2016 Conference: December 13-16, 2016, Madrid, Spain   Submissions  Papers are to be submitted electronically through Easychair at the following link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=opodis2016. Submissions must be in English in pdf format and they must be prepared using the LaTeX style templates for LIPIcs  (https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/) and choosing the A4 paper option. A submission must not exceed 16 pages, including the cover page, figures, tables and references. The cover page should include the title of the paper, the authorsâ names, affiliations and e-mails, an abstract, information about the contact author, and a list of keywords.  Additional details may be included in a clearly marked appendix or as supplementary material which will be read at the discretion of the reviewers. Submissions are expected to be intelligible and complete without such additional details.  A submission must report on original research that has not previously appeared in a journal or conference with published proceedings. It should not be concurrently submitted to such a journal or conference. Any overlap with a published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated. The Program Chairs reserve the right to reject submissions that are out of scope, or of clearly inferior quality, or that violate the submission guidelines. Each of the remaining papers will undergo a thorough reviewing process.   Publication  OPODIS has post-proceedings published by Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) in gold open access mode. The proceedings become available online, free of charge, after the conference. Preliminary versions of the proceedings will be available to participants at the conference electronically. The camera-ready version of a paper must have the same format and be of the same length as its submitted version. Extended and revised versions of selected papers will be considered for a special issue of Theoretical Computer Science (Elsevier).   Best Paper Award  OPODIS features a best paper award. All accepted papers will be evaluated for the best paper award. The best paper award aims to encourage work that combines theory and practice and demonstrates excellence of research in at least one of these two areas. Such work could be an advance in theory that sheds lights on an interesting system problem or an advance in system work that builds upon strong theoretical results   General Chair  Ernesto JimÃnez Merino, Technical University of Madrid, Spain   Program Committee  Yehuda Afek, Tel-Aviv University, Israel Christian Cachin, IBM Research, Zurich, Switzerland Marco Canini, Università Catholique de Louvain, Belgium Shantanu Das, Aix-Marseille University, France Carole Delporte, Università Paris Diderot â Paris 7, France Fernando Dotti, PUC-RS, Brazil Faith Ellen, University of Toronto, Canada Panagiota Fatourou, FORTH ICS & University of Crete, Greece (co-chair) Pascal Felber, Università de NeuchÃtel, Switzerland Pierre Fraigniaud, Università Paris Diderot - Paris 7, France Cyril Gavoille, Università de Bordeaux, France Rachid Guerraoui, EPFL, Switzerland Maurice Herlihy, Brown University, USA RÃdiger Kapitza, TU Braunschweig, Germany Parisa Marandi, Microsoft Research, UK Euripides Markou, University of Thessaly, Greece Alessia Milani, University of Bordeaux, France Gilles Muller, INRIA, France Roberto Palmieri, Virginia Tech, USA Marta PatiÃo-MartÃnez, Technical University of Madrid, Spain Fernando Pedone, University of Lugano, Switzerland (co-chair) David Peleg, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel Sebastiano Peluso, Virginia Tech, USA Maria Potop Butucaru, Università Paris-VI Pierre-et-Marie-Curie, France Nuno PreguiÃa, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal Luis Rodrigues, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal Eric Ruppert, York University, Canada Mark Shapiro, INRIA & Università Paris-VI Pierre-et-Marie-Curie, France Liuba Shrira, Brandeis University, USA Robert Soule, University of Lugano, Switzerland Roman Vitenberg, University of Oslo, Norway Spyros Voulgaris, VU University Amsterdam, Netherlands Steering Committee Marcos Aguilera, VMware Research Group, USA Christian Cachin, IBM Research, Zurich, Switzerland Alessia Milani, University of Bordeaux, France Maria Potop-Butucaru, Università Paris-VI Pierre-et-Marie-Curie, France Giuseppe Prencipe, Università di Pisa , Italy Etienne RiviÃre, University of NeuchÃtel, Switzerland Marc Shapiro, INRIA & Università Paris-VI Pierre-et-Marie-Curie, France Sebastien Tixeuil, IUF & Università Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris 6, France (chair)   Organizing Commitee  Ãngel Ãlvarez, Technical University of Madrid, Spain Sergio ArÃvalo (organization chair), Technical University of Madrid, Spain (chair) Antonio FernÃndez-Anta, Institute IMDEA Networks, Spain Josà Luis LÃpez-Presa (publicity chair), Technical University of Madrid, Spain Pilar Manzano, Technical University of Madrid, Spain Isabel MuÃoz, Technical University of Madrid, Spain Nicolas Nicolaou, Institute IMDEA Networks, Spain AndrÃs Sevilla, Technical University of Madrid, Spain |
