## Call for papers

Scope 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 (in alphabetical order). biological distributed algorithms and systems coding and reliable communication combinatorics and topology of distributed computing communication networks concurrency, synchronization, and persistence design and analysis of concurrent and distributed algorithms and data structures distributed and cloud storage, replication and consistency distributed computing for machine learning, artificial intelligence and big data distributed graph algorithms distributed ledgers and decentralized finance protocols distributed operating systems, middleware, and 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 lower bounds and impossibility results for distributed computing mobile computing, population protocols and autonomous agents models and languages for distributed computing multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks, and social networks quantum and optics based distributed computing security and cryptography in distributed computing specifications, semantics, verification, and formal methods for distributed systems system-on-chip and network-on-chip architectures transactional memory wireless, sensor, mesh, and ad hoc networks
