# Visibility/priority #
#######################
#
# This part describes when the news should be visible, and with what priority (how high in the list).
#

from 2019-04-23 for 1 month, priority= low
from 2019-04-23 for 2 weeks, priority= normal
from 2019-04-23 for 1 week, priority= high

#
# Other intervals of priority can/have to be specified.
#
# As a rule of thumb:
#  - priority high for up to 3 days, 10 days for very important events (FOCS) (appears top of the list)
#  - priority normal for up to 2 or 3 weeks (appears with high probability)
#  - priority low for as long as one wishes (probably invisible but sometimes can be if there is sufficient space)
#  - priority null makes the news invisible
#  - priorities may change several times (e.g. high for registration and for the event)
#  - this syntax can also be used for changing pictures, links, ...
#
# The syntax is the following
#   from DATE until DATE, priority= PRIORITY
#   from DATE for DURATION, priority= PRIORITY
#   for DURATION until DATE, priority= PRIORITY
#
# PRIORITY: high | normal | low | null
#
# DATE:
#   NUMBER MONTH NUMBER   (e.g. 22 June 2018)
#   ???-??-??             (e.g. 2018-06-22)
#
# DURATION:
#   NUMBER (day|days|week|weeks|month|months|year|years)

# if one wants to have a notion (a small text that unravels when clicked and is used to highlight a concept)
#
 notion = Distributed systems
 notion text = {Distributed systems are groups of networked computers, interacting with each other in order to achieve the same goal. In parallel computing, all processors have access to a shared memory to exchange information between processors. In distributed computing, information is exchanged by passing messages between the processors. Cluster of computers and peer-to-peer systems are examples of such architectures. Models of distributed systems are also used in other science, such as in biology, in order to analyze collective behaviors of autonomous entities interacting with each other by message passing.}
