PODC 2015 Second Call for Workshop Proposals
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
34th Annual ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing
July 21-23, 2015
Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain
http://www.podc.org/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The 34th Annual ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS Symposium on Principles of
Distributed Computing (PODC 2015) invites proposals for up to 1.5 day
workshops that are closely related to the current scope of the
conference or are new emerging research fields complementing or
extending it, including but not restricted to:
- algorithms for distributed systems and their complexity
- cluster, cloud, grid and high-performance computing
- communication networks: protocols, architectures, services,
applications
- sensor, mobile, ad-hoc, robot and peer-to-peer networks
- concurrent programming, synchronization, shared and transactional
memory
- cryptographic protocols and system security
- distributed operating systems, databases and programming languages
- dynamic, adaptive and machine learning based distributed algorithms
- self-stabilizing, self-organizing and autonomic systems
- formal methods, semantics and verification of concurrent systems
- fault tolerance, reliability, availability of distributed systems
- game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
- information theory, codes and reliable communication
- Internet applications, social networks and complex networks
- multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
- nanonetworks and biological distributed algorithms
- quantum and optics based distributed algorithms
- energy issues of parallel and distributed algorithms
Workshops will be held in conjunction with PODC on Monday 20 July 2015,
or, in exceptional cases, after the main PODC conference program.
Interested members of the community are invited to send proposals for
workshops by email to the workshop chair:
Elad Michael Schiller <elad@chalmers.se>
The following are required in a workshop proposal:
- Title of the workshop;
- An abstract describing the main focus of the workshop and why it
would be of interest to the PODC community;
- Names and contact information of the organizers;
- Estimated number of submitted and accepted papers, duration of the
workshop, and a brief description of the review process.
Although PODC will provide organizational and administrative support
for the co-located workshops, they must be prepared to bear their own
expenses (e.g., those associated with the meeting rooms and catering).
The budget of PODC and the workshops could be integrated in case of
ACM-based workshops, but the details will need to be worked out.
The proposals should be submitted to the workshop chair as soon as
possible, but no later than
January 6, 2015.
Notification of acceptance will be sent shortly after the deadline.

Distributed Computing
Message-ID: <5480D286.40009@aalto.fi>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; format=flowed
Call for Nominations
Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing - 2015
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nominations deadline:
April 30, 2015
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
About
-----
The Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing is named for
Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (1930-2002), a pioneer in the area of distributed
computing. His foundational work on concurrency, semaphores, mutual
exclusion, deadlock, finding shortest paths in graphs, fault-tolerance,
self-stabilization, among many other contributions, comprises one of the
most important supports upon which the field of distributed computing is
built. No other individual has had a larger influence on research in
principles of distributed computing.
A list of past recipients of the Prize can be found in the PODC web page
(www.podc.org) and also in the DISC web page (www.disc-conference.org).
The prize is given for outstanding papers on the principles of
distributed computing, whose significance and impact on the theory
and/or practice of distributed computing has been evident for at least
a decade. The Prize includes an award of $2000.
The Prize is sponsored jointly by the ACM Symposium on Principles of
Distributed Computing (PODC) and the EATCS Symposium on Distributed
Computing (DISC). The award is presented annually, with the presentation
taking place alternately at ACM PODC and EATCS DISC - this year it will
be presented at DISC 2015. The winners of the award will share the cash
award, and each winning author will be presented with a plaque. An
announcement of each year's prize recipient(s) will be included in the
ACM PODC or EATCS DISC proceedings of that year, describing the paper's
lasting contributions.

Many of you will be saddened to hear that Rudolf Halin has died. He passed away on 7 November 2014, having turned 80 only a few months before, on 3 February.
Halin was one of Wagner's three most eminent students. He is best known for his early papers on connectivity, and particularly for his seminal work on infinite graphs and their ends. Throughout his work, Halin was driven by a desire to get to the bottom of things, to find the `essence' of the phenomena that had caught his attention. One of his last papers was a collection of open problems, published in the Journal of Graph Theory, of which most are still unresolved.
