PODC 2018 - 2018 ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing

The ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing is an international forum on the theory, design, analysis, implementation and application of distributed systems and networks. We solicit papers in all areas of distributed computing. Papers from all viewpoints, including theory, practice, and experimentation, are welcome. The common goal of the conference is to improve understanding of the principles underlying distributed computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
distributed algorithms: design, analysis, and complexity
communication networks: algorithms, protocols, applications
multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
shared and transactional memory, concurrency, synchronization
fault-tolerance, reliability, self-organization, self-stabilization
codes and reliable communication
Internet applications, social networks, recommendation systems
dynamic, adaptive, and machine learning distributed algorithms
distributed operating systems, middleware, databases
game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks
high-performance, cluster, cloud, and grid computing
wireless networks, mobile computing, autonomous agents
blockchain protocols
security in distributed computing, cryptographic protocols
quantum and optics based distributed algorithms
nanonetworks and biological distributed algorithms
sensor, mesh, and ad hoc networks
system-on-chip and network-on-chip architectures
specification, semantics, verification of concurrent systems
