* SCNDS 2018 CFP*
We are excited to announce the 2nd workshop on Storage, Control, Networking
in Dynamic Systems (SCNDS). The workshop is interdisciplinary and touches
storage systems, control systems, distributed computing as well as
networking. It is intended as a forum where people from different
backgrounds can learn from each other. We want to attract both industry
relevant papers as well as papers from academic researchers working on the
foundations of dynamic systems.

"Dynamic system" is defined broadly, such as peer-to-peer networks,
large-scale sensor networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, and cloud computing.
Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all
major areas, which include, but not limited to:

Storage in dynamic networks, e.g., MANET, VANET
Control in dynamic systems
Erasure-code based storage systems
Consistency and erasure-codes
Consistency in dynamic networks
Web caching
Storage in data-centers
Big Data in clouds for IoT
Data storage in Fog/Edge Computing
Archival storage systems
Cryptocurrency systems
Cloud storage
Gossip algorithms
Design, implementation, evaluation, and deployment of storage systems
Performance evaluation of networked storage systems
Fault-tolerant storage in dynamic networks
New directions on networking techniques

*Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings*
We invite submissions of extended abstracts describing recent results
relevant to the workshop. We especially welcome extended abstracts
describing new insights and/or application studies even if these are not
fully formed. A major goal of the workshop is to explore new directions and
approaches; thus, we encourage the submission of ongoing work. Selected
contributors would be asked to present, discuss and defend their work at
the workshop.

By default, the submissions will be evaluated for either oral or poster
presentation, though authors may indicate in their submission if it should
be only considered for one of the presentation types.

Submissions should be in PDF and include title, author information, and a
2-page extended abstract (plus references). Shorter submissions are also
welcome, particularly for poster presentation.

Please use the following EasyChair submission link: *TBA*
