PODC solicits papers on all areas of distributed computing.
Papers from all viewpoints, including theory, practice, and
experimentation, are welcome.
The common goal is to improve understanding of the principles
underlying distributed computing.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following
subjects:

- distributed algorithms: design, analysis, and complexity
- communication networks: architectures, services, protocols, applications
- multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
- shared and transactional memory, synchronization protocols, concurrent
programming
- fault-tolerance, reliability, availability, self organization
- Internet applications, social networks, recommendation systems
- distributed operating systems, middleware platforms, databases
- game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
- peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks, distributed data management
- high-performance, cluster, cloud and grid computing
- wireless networks, mobile computing, autonomous agents, location- and
context-aware distributed systems
- security in distributed computing, cryptographic protocols
- sensor, mesh, and ad hoc networks
- specification, semantics, verification, and testing of distributed systems

Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines
available on the conference web page (www.podc.org/podc2010). Note
that abstracts of regular papers must be submitted one week before the
full papers; note also that the deadlines are firm.

A submission for a regular presentation must report original
research. Papers submitted for regular presentations must contain
results that have not previously appeared, and have not been
concurrently submitted to a journal or conference with published
proceedings. Any partial overlap with any such published or
concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated. Papers for
regular presentation include (1) a cover page, stating the title of
the paper, the authors' affiliation, an abstract, and indication of
whether the paper should be considered for the best student paper
award, and if so the name(s) of the student(s) recommended for the
award; (2) no more  than 12 single-column pages on letter-size paper
using at least 11-point font; (3) an extra page used for references
only. Additional details may be included in a clearly marked appendix,
which will be read at the discretion of the program committee.

A submission for a brief announcement must be no longer than 3
single-column pages on letter-size paper using at least 11-point
font. Such submissions may describe work in progress or work presented
elsewhere. A submission that is not selected for regular presentation
may be invited for a brief announcement.

Regular papers and brief announcements will be included in the
conference proceedings. Regular papers receive up to 10 letter-size
pages, brief announcements receive up to 2 letter-size pages.

Awards.
Every regular paper is eligible for the best paper award and the best
presentation award. Regular papers co-authored by full-time students
may also be eligible for the best student paper award---for a paper to
be considered, the nominated authors should be full time students at
the time of submission and they should be principally responsible for
the paper's contributions. The program committee may decline to make
these awards or may split them.
