Call for papers SIROCCO 2010 17th International Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication Complexity June 7-11, 2010 Sirince, Turkey http://www.sirocco2010.boun.edu.tr/ Important dates Submission deadline: January 31, 2010 (5pm CET) Author notification: March 21, 2010 Camera-ready submission: April 4, 2010 Theme SIROCCO is devoted to the study of communication and knowledge in multi-processor systems from both the qualitative and quantitative viewpoints. Special emphasis is given to innovative approaches and fundamental understanding, in addition to efforts to optimize current designs. Conference SIROCCO has a tradition of interesting and productive scientific meetings in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, attracting leading researchers in a variety of fields in which communication and knowledge play a significant role. This year, SIROCCO is held in Turkey, in the Nesin Mathematics Village, located in the midst of a beautiful scenery, close to the sea and to the ancient city of Ephesus. Scope Original papers are solicited from all areas of study of local structural knowledge and global communication and computational complexities. Among the typical areas are distributed computing, communication networks, game theory, parallel computing, social networks, mobile computing (including autonomous robots), peer to peer systems, and communication complexity. Keeping with the tradition of SIROCCO, new areas are always welcome. SIROCCO Award The Prize for Innovation In Distributed Computing is awarded annually in the SIROCCO conference to recognize individuals whose research contributions had a major impact on the understanding of the relationships between information and efficiency in decentralized computing. Only authors of papers that were published in SIROCCO are eligible to receive the award. More details are available in the SIROCCO 2010 web site.
