2013 ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing

PODC solicits 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: distributed algorithms and their complexity concurrent programming, synchronization, shared and transactional memory multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms fault tolerance, reliability, availability self-stabilizing, self-organizing, and autonomic systems communication networks: protocols, architectures, services, applications sensor, mobile, ad-hoc, peer-to-peer networks cryptographic and security protocols and system security semantics, models, verification, debugging, and tool support Internet applications, social networks, recommendation systems distributed operating systems, databases and programming languages game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing cluster, cloud and grid computing
