Report on HiPC 2018

Impactful Papers Published at HiPC

As part of the 25th year of HiPC, a committee has been constituted to select papers that are thought to be most impactful of the papers that have been published at HiPC over the past years. The committee looked at a large pool of papers, their citations across the years, and arrived at a shortlist of 25 papers. These 25 papers were put to vote to the PC Chairs of the past 25 years and a final list of the following seven papers are selected. Further follow-up steps will be posted soon.
