SIROCCO is devoted to the study of the interplay between structural knowledge, communication, and computing in decentralized systems of multiple communicating entities. Special emphasis is given to innovative approaches leading to a better understanding of the relationship between computing and communication.

Original papers are solicited from all areas of study of local structural knowledge and global communication and computational complexities. Among the typical areas are distributed computing (both message passing and shared memory), communication networks, game theory, parallel computing, social networks, mobile computing and autonomous robots, peer to peer systems, and communication complexity. Keeping with the tradition of SIROCCO, new areas are always welcome. 

SIROCCO has a tradition of interesting and productive scientific meetings in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, attracting leading researchers in a variety of fields in which communication and knowledge play a significant role. This edition will be the 30th and it will include a special anniversary celebration, as well as an event dedicated to special models of computation.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

A submission must report on original research and contain results that have not appeared previously in a regular conference paper and have not been concurrently submitted to a journal or a conference with published proceedings.

Submissions should be no longer than 15 pages (including the title, authors and abstract, not counting the referencers or figures); further details can be added in a clearly marked appendix at the end of the paper if needed. If the paper is eligible for the best student paper award (regular papers that have at least one student author, and these student authors have done most of the work), please state that below the title. Submissions deviating from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits.

The proceedings of SIROCCO 2022 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS). The papers must be submitted in PDF format using Easychair. Submissions must be in English, formatted in a sin­gle column, using the LATEX  LNCS proceedings template. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers, and requieres to draw the attention of the contributing conference paper authors to the Code of Conduct. Submissions not conforming to these rules as well as papers outside of the scope of the conference will be rejected with­out consideration.
