What communication library or<br>tool should use to enable the communication between processes? Over which<br>platform the algorithm should be implemented and evaluated? What tradeoffs<br>must be taken into consideration, i.e., choose a low-cost (or free) publically<br>available setting with moderate maintenance or an expensive, developer-<br>friendly one?<br><br>Context is also very important. Some design assumptions might not be<br>feasible nor affordable to be implemented in practice, or certain<br>considerations might be irrelevant. In other words, some important issues<br>in theory, might not be important in practice whereas some practical<br>obstacles deserve more attention and analysis.<br><br>The purpose of this workshop is to bring together designers and<br>practitioners of distributed systems from both academia and industry to<br>share their point of views and experiences. We solicit submissions describing<br>research results and/or position papers relevant to the topic of interest to<br>ApPLIED. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br><br>* The process of designing an algorithm to developing a prototype<br> implementation suitable for running on working systems.<br><br>* Success stories in which the evaluation of (perhaps known) distributed<br> algorithms resulted in further (analytical) insights.<br><br>* Position papers that consider new directions, opinions and learned lessons.<br><br><br><u>WORKSHOP SUBMISSION AND PRESENTATIONS<br></u><br>Two formats will be considered:<br><br>* A regular paper submission must report on original research that has not<br>been previously or concurrently published; concurrent submissions to<br>journals or conferences are not permitted. A regular submission must not<br>exceed 6 pages excluding cover page and references. Additional necessary<br>details may be included in an appendix which will be read at the discretion of<br>the program committee. However, the paper must be self-contained without<br>the appendices. Regular papers will have 30 minutes for an oral presentation<br>at the workshop.<br><br>* Short research statements aim at fostering discussion and collaboration.<br>Research statements may summarize research published elsewhere or<br>outline new emerging ideas. These submissions must not exceed 3 pages<br>excluding cover page and references. The material in these short research<br>statements may be published in other conferences. Short research<br>statements will have 15 minutes for an oral presentation at the workshop.<br><br>Submissions not conforming to these rules and papers outside of the scope<br>of the conference will be rejected without consideration.<br><br>The authors are responsible to have at least one of the authors registered to<br>the workshop and presenting their work.<br><br><br><u>PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES<br></u><br>Papers are to be submitted electronically through EasyChair:<br><a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQlDYWxsIGZvciBQYXBlcnM6IEFwUExJRUQgd29ya3Nob3AgaGVsZCBpbiBjb25qdW5jdGlvbiB3aXRoIEFDTSBQT0RDIDIwMTgJMTc1CUxpc3RzCTE2NgljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair.org%2Fconferences%2F%3Fconf%3Dapplied2018">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=applied2018</a><br><br>Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines on the<br>workshop web page. Submission must be in English, in pdf format, and in<br>ACM proceedings style (ACM SIG). Each paper must begin with a cover page<br>containing: (1) title, (2) author names and affiliations, (3) contact author's<br>email, (4) abstract, and (5) indication of whether the paper should be<br>considered as an article of original research, or short research statement.<br><br><br><u>PUBLICATION</u><br><br>The final version of the accepted papers will appear on the workshop's<br>website and ACM digital library.
