*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***
ApPLIED: Advanced tools, programming languages, and
PLatforms for Implementing and Evaluating algorithms for
Distributed systems
Workshop held in conjunction with PODC 2018
July 27th, 2018, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
https://tinyurl.com/ApPLIED2018
SCOPE
Designers of advanced systems wishing to implement and evaluate
distributed algorithms in practical settings are often faced with
challenging
questions regarding the transformation from design to a working
prototype.
For example, what language should they use? What communication
library or
tool should use to enable the communication between processes?
Over which
platform the algorithm should be implemented and evaluated? What
tradeoffs
must be taken into consideration, i.e., choose a low-cost (or
free) publically
available setting with moderate maintenance or an expensive,
developer-
friendly one?
Context is also very important. Some design assumptions might not
be
feasible nor affordable to be implemented in practice, or certain
considerations might be irrelevant. In other words, some important
issues
in theory, might not be important in practice whereas some
practical
obstacles deserve more attention and analysis.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together designers and
practitioners of distributed systems from both academia and
industry to
share their point of views and experiences. We solicit submissions
describing
research results and/or position papers relevant to the topic of
interest to
ApPLIED. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* The process of designing an algorithm to developing a prototype
implementation suitable for running on working systems.
* Success stories in which the evaluation of (perhaps known)
distributed
algorithms resulted in further (analytical) insights.
* Position papers that consider new directions, opinions and
learned lessons.
WORKSHOP SUBMISSION AND PRESENTATIONS
Two formats will be considered:
* A regular paper submission must report on original research that
has not
been previously or concurrently published; concurrent submissions
to
journals or conferences are not permitted. A regular submission
must not
exceed 6 pages excluding cover page and references. Additional
necessary
details may be included in an appendix which will be read at the
discretion of
the program committee. However, the paper must be self-contained
without
the appendices. Regular papers will have 30 minutes for an oral
presentation
at the workshop.
* Short research statements aim at fostering discussion and
collaboration.
Research statements may summarize research published elsewhere or
outline new emerging ideas. These submissions must not exceed 3
pages
excluding cover page and references. The material in these short
research
statements may be published in other conferences. Short research
statements will have 15 minutes for an oral presentation at the
workshop.
Submissions not conforming to these rules and papers outside of
the scope
of the conference will be rejected without consideration.
The authors are responsible to have at least one of the authors
registered to
the workshop and presenting their work.
PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers are to be submitted electronically through EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=applied2018
Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the
guidelines on the
workshop web page. Submission must be in English, in pdf format,
and in
ACM proceedings style (ACM SIG). Each paper must begin with a
cover page
containing: (1) title, (2) author names and affiliations, (3)
contact author's
email, (4) abstract, and (5) indication of whether the paper
should be
considered as an article of original research, or short research
statement.
PUBLICATION
The final version of the accepted papers will appear on the
workshop's
website and ACM digital library. These papers will be available to
the
participants in electronic format during the workshop.
DATES
* Full Papers Submission: May 13, 2018.
* Acceptance Notification: June 4, 2018.
* Camera Ready version: June 8, 2018.
