Special Issue "Distributed Computing Theory, Systems, Algorithms, and Data Structures"

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your latest research on the broad area of distributed computing to this Special Issue, “Distributed Computing Theory, Systems, Algorithms, and Data Structures”. The goal of this Special Issue is to improve understanding of the principles and practices underlying distributed computing. We solicit high-quality original research papers on problems that naturally arise in all areas of distributed computing. We welcome research papers from all viewpoints, including theory, algorithms, systems, practice, and experimentation. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: design and analysis of distributed algorithms; lower bounds, complexity, and impossibility results; network protocols; distributed machine learning, operating systems, databases, resource management, scheduling, fault tolerance, and reliability; self-stabilization; peer-to-peer systems; concurrency, synchronization, and consistency; multicore and multiprocessor algorithms and architectures; distributed and concurrent data structures; blockchain protocols; wireless and sensor networks; mobile and robot computing; formal methods; game theory in distributed computing; high-performance, cluster, and grid computing; distributed storage and persistence; security and cryptography; coding and biological algorithms; and experimental evaluation of distributed algorithms and systems.
