*********************** * CALL FOR PAPERS * ********************************************* * Tenth Annual ACM Symposium on * * Principles of Distributed Computing * * (PODC'91) * ********************************************* August 19-21, 1991 Montreal, CANADA Original research contributions are sought that address fundamental issues in the theory and practice of distributed and concurrent systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: % Principles of distributed computation derived from practical experience with working systems % Algorithms and complexity % Specification, semantics, and verification % Network protocols % Fault tolerance % Cryptography and security % Principles of real time systems Important dates: Abstracts due: February 1, 1991 (or postmarked by 1/30/91 and sent AirMail) Acceptance notification: April 6, 1991 Camera-ready version due: May 14, 1991 Please send 12 copies of a detailed abstract (not the complete paper), with the address, e-mail address, and telephone number of the contact author, to the program chair: Richard Ladner Department of Computer Science and Engineering, FR-35 114 Sieg Hall University of Washington Seattle, Washington 98195 U.S.A (206) 543-9347 The abstract must provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee to assess the merits of the paper and should include appropriate references to and comparisons with the literature. It is recommended that each submission begin with a succinct statement of the problem, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of the significance and relevance to the conference, all suitable for a non-specialist. Technical development of the work, directed to the specialist, should follow. A limit of 10 typed pages with roughly 35 lines/page (roughly 4,500 words in total) is placed on submissions. If the authors believe that more details are essential to substantiate the main claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the Program Committee. Abstracts conforming to the guidelines will be considered by the committee if they are received by February 1, 1991, or postmarked by January 30, 1991, and sent by AirMail. This is a FIRM deadline.
