---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The PaPoC workshop invites three types of submissions:
* Short papers (up to 6 pages excluding bibliography) with original
contributions, experience reports, or work-in-progress reports (supported by
initial validations);
* Full papers (up to 12 pages excluding bibliography) which may be
concurrently submitted (or accepted) to other venues and do not have the option
to be published in the ACM library;
* Lightning-talk abstracts, summarized in a maximum of 300 words, reporting
preliminary or crazy ideas, new trends, recent experience, or ongoing results.
Aim and Scope
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since its inception in 2014, the PaPoC workshop series has brought together
researchers and practitioners who seek to develop better techniques and a
better understanding of consistency in distributed systems. We welcome
contributions from a wide range of backgrounds: system development, distributed
algorithms, concurrency, fault tolerance, databases, programming languages,
blockchain, and verification.
Topics
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The workshop is looking for contributions on the following, and associated,
topics:
* Design principles, correctness conditions, and programming patterns for
scalable distributed data management systems.
* Techniques for scaling and improving the performance of strongly
consistent systems (e.g., Paxos-like algorithms, state-machine replication
protocols and distributed transactional systems).
* Techniques for weak and hybrid consistency (such as session guarantees,
causal consistency, operational transformation, conflict-free replicated data
types (CRDTs), invariant-preserving replicated data types, monotonic
programming, state merging, operation commutativity, etc).
* Data consistency in geo-replicated, peer-to-peer, and edge computing
systems.
* How to expose consistency vs. performance and scalability trade-offs in
the programming model, and how to help developers choose.
* How to support composed operations spanning multiple objects
(transactions, sagas, workflows).
* Techniques or tools to aid the development of replicated data (e.g.,
reasoning, analysis and verification of application programs using storage
systems with various consistency models, visualization techniques for
distributed dependencies or state merges, etc.).
* Formal methods for distributed systems dealing with strong/weak
consistent data (such as techniques for verifying safety, liveness or
consistency properties, convergence verification, etc.)
* Implementation techniques and optimisations for replicated data types to
improve fault tolerance, security, application-level invariants, metadata
usage, and controlling divergence.
* Studies of performance, scalability, and programmability for the
aforementioned systems.
