DISC, the International Symposium on DIStributed Computing, is an international forum on
the theory, design, analysis, implementation and application of distributed systems and
networks. DISC is organized in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical
Computer Science (EATCS).
Scope
Original contributions to theory, design, modeling, analysis, implementation, or application
of distributed systems and networks are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Distributed algorithms; correctness and complexity
- Concurrent programming, synchronization, shared 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
Program
The program will include keynote lectures, regular presentations, and brief announcements.
Satellite workshops will be held on the day before and the day after DISC. Regular presentations
of 25 minutes will be accompanied by papers of up to 15 pages in the proceedings. Brief
announcements of 5 to 10 minutes will be accompanied by two page abstracts in the proceedings.
Publication
The proceedings will be published as a volume in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series. Accepted papers must be submitted in the LNCS format. Each participant
will receive a copy of the final proceedings.
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 address, 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). Additional details may be included in a clearly marked appendix that 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.
Best Student Paper Award
A paper is eligible for the best student paper award if it is a regular
submission, one of its authors is a full-time student at
the time of submission and the student's contribution is significant.
The program committee may split this award or decline to make it.
