The 20th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems
13-16 December 2016
Madrid, Spain
OPODIS solicits papers in all aspects of distributed systems, including theory, specification, design, performance, and system building. With a strong background in the theory of distributed systems, OPODIS has recently expanded its scope to cover the whole range between the theoretical aspects and practical implementations of distributed systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Design and analysis of distributed algorithms
- Synchronization, concurrent algorithms, shared and transactional memory
- Design and analysis of concurrent and distributed data structures
- Communication networks (protocols, architectures, services, applications)
- High-performance, cluster, cloud and grid computing
- Mesh and ad-hoc networks (wireless, mobile, sensor), location and context-aware systems
- Mobile agents, robots, and rendezvous
- Internet applications, social systems, peer-to-peer and overlay networks
- Distributed operating systems, middleware, and distributed database systems
- Programming languages, formal methods, specification and verification applied to distributed systems
- Embedded and energy-efficient distributed systems
- Distributed event processing
- Distributed storage and file systems, large-scale systems, and big data analytics
- Dependable distributed algorithms and systems
- Self-stabilization, self-organization, autonomy
- Security and privacy, cryptographic protocols
- Game-theory and economical aspects of distributed computing
- Randomization in distributed computing
- Biological distributed algorithms
This edition of the OPODIS conference will take place in Madrid. Madrid, the capital of Spain, is a cosmopolitan city that combines the most modern infrastructures and the status as an economic, financial, administrative and service centre, with a large cultural and artistic heritage, a legacy of centuries of exciting history.
