Quo Vadisc? Outcomes of the PODC/DISC Conference model survey

Abstract

At the ACM PODC 2020 business meeting and on Zulip, a task force was formed to propose options for changing the PODC/DISC deadline sched- ule and/or moving to a publication model based on journal-style reviewing. This article summarizes the models identified by the task force and their underlying rationales, and reports on the results of a recent survey among community members, conducted by the task force.
