The ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing is an international forum on the theory, design, analysis, implementation and application of distributed systems and networks. We solicit papers in all areas of distributed computing. Papers from all viewpoints, including theory, practice, and experimentation, are welcome. The goal of the conference is to improve understanding of the principles underlying distributed computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

    biological distributed algorithms and systems
    blockchain protocols
    coding and reliable communication
    communication networks
    concurrency, synchronization, and persistence
    design and analysis of distributed algorithms
    distributed and cloud storage
    distributed and concurrent data structures
    distributed computation for large-scale data
    distributed graph algorithms
    distributed machine learning algorithms
    distributed operating systems, middleware, databases
    distributed resource management and scheduling
    fault-tolerance, reliability, self-organization, and self-stabilization
    game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
    high-performance, cluster, cloud and grid computing
    internet applications
    languages, verification, and formal methods for distributed systems
    lower bounds and impossibility results for distributed computing
    mobile computing and autonomous agents
    multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
    peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks, and social networks
    population protocols
    quantum and optics based distributed algorithms
    replication and consistency
    security and cryptography in distributed computing
    specifications and semantics
    system-on-chip and network-on-chip architectures
    transactional memory
    wireless, sensor, mesh, and ad hoc networks
