18th Int. Conf. on the Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS)

OPODIS 2014 Call for Papers
18th Int. Conf. on the Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS)
17-19 December 2014
Cortina, Italy

OPODIS is an open forum for the exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge
on distributed computing and distributed computer systems. All aspects
of distributed systems are within the scope of OPODIS, including
theory, specification, design, performance, and system building.

OPODIS is traditionally strong in the theoretical aspects of
distributed systems; furthermore, OPODIS is expanding its coverage to
include the overlap between theoretical solutions and practical
implementations, as well as experimentation and quantitative
assessments.

A quality OPODIS paper will typically consider a significant problem
in distributed computing, study an original solution, and evaluate it
by formal, analytical, simulation, or experimental means. Positive,
negative, and reproduction results that advance the state of the art
are equally welcome.

Topics covered by OPODIS include, but are not limited to, the following:

Cloud computing
Communication and synchronization protocols
Dependable computing: theory and practice
Distributed algorithms: shared memory and message passing
Distributed database systems
Distributed event processing
Distributed operating systems
Dynamic and time-varying networks
Embedded distributed systems
Fault-tolerance, reliability, availability
Grid and cluster computing
Large-scale systems
Mobile agents and autonomous robots
Peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks
Performance: availability, latency, throughput, balance,
communication, energy, etc.
Programming languages, specification and verification applied to
distributed systems
Security and privacy
Self-* solutions for distributed systems
Sensor networks
Social networks: modeling, analysis, and synthesis
Wireless and mobile computing

Submission and reviewing

The conference language is English. Submission is electronic, per the
instructions at http://opodis2014.dis.uniroma1.it/submission.html. On
the first page, include the title of the paper, author(s) names and
affiliation, an abstract, email, and a list of keywords. Submissions
shall conform strictly to the LNCS format (instructions at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html), and must not exceed 15
pages, including figures, tables and references. Additional details
may be included in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read, or
not, at the discretion of the reviewers.

The Programme Co-Chairs reserve the right to refuse, out of hand,
papers that are out of scope, that are of clearly inferior quality, or
that violate the submission guidelines. The remaining papers will
undergo a thorough reviewing process. Each paper will be peer-reviewed
in depth by at least three Programme Committee members. The Programme
Committee will select contributions to be presented at the conference
and published in the proceedings according to the criteria of
originality, clarity, and completeness.
