Distributed computing

Más información sobre el libro

DISC, the International Symposium on DIStributed Computing, serves as an annual platform for presenting research on all aspects of distributed computing, including theory, design, analysis, implementation, and application of distributed systems and networks. The 20th anniversary edition took place from September 18-20, 2006, in Stockholm, Sweden, featuring 145 extended abstracts. This volume includes 35 selected contributions by the Program Committee, along with one invited paper. Each submission was evaluated by at least three committee members, with support from external reviewers. The final decisions were made during a committee meeting in Beer-Sheva on June 30 and July 1, 2006. The Best Student Award was shared between two papers: one on compact routing schemes by Arthur Bradly and Lenore Cowen, and another on a fast distributed approximation algorithm for minimum spanning trees by Maleq Khan and Gopal Pandurangan. Additionally, the proceedings feature 13 brief announcements (BAs), which represent ongoing works not yet ready for full papers or recent results presented at other conferences. These BAs, selected from 26 submissions, aim to highlight current research insights and experiences in distributed computing.
