podc-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a distributed-computing result belongs at ACM PODC or should be routed to DISC, SPAA, OPODIS/SIROCCO/SSS, STOC/FOCS/SODA, a systems venue (ICDCS/DSN/OSDI/NSDI), a blockchain-theory venue (AFT/FC), or a journal (JACM / Distributed Computing) — and how to avoid the PODC-vs-PODS naming trap by reasoning about the distributed model and the cost measure.

When to use

• deciding venue for distributed-computing results
• routing between PODC, DISC, and SPAA
• identifying PODC vs PODS naming trap
• evaluating contribution shapes for PODC
• applying model-swap and re-label tests
• checking evidence maturity for theory papers
• performing cheap reconnaissance before submission

When not to use

• drafting the paper
• writing proofs
• implementing systems
• database query language design
