Overview
SIROCCO is devoted to the study of the interplay and trade-offs between the efficiency of algorithms and systems and the availability of information. This basic issue is common to many fields of multi party systems. SIROCCO has a tradition of interesting and productive scientific meetings in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, attracting leading researchers in a variety of fields which exhibit such interplay.
This year, exceptionally, SIROCCO will be held on 3,5 days instead of the usual 2,5 days in order to provide more time for tutorials and informal discussions between the participants. We hope that this will encourage the emergence of new research areas (related to distributed computing in a broad sense) and the dissemination of original ideas.
Publication
All accepted papers will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer.
Content
Original papers are solicited from all those areas where the interplay between complexity and communication takes place. In particular from: distributed computing, high-speed networks, interconnection networks, mobile computing, optical computing, parallel computing, sensor networks, wireless networks, and related areas.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- communication complexity
- distributed algorithms and data structures
- information dissemination
- mobile agent computing
- models of communication
- network topologies
- routing protocols
- sense of direction
- structural properties
