We are happy to announce that our paper "Dynamic Size Counting in the Population Protocol Model" has been accepted to the ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC 2024, 21.3% acceptance rate).

In our paper we provide a loosely-stabilizing algorithm for determining the size of a population of distributed agents through random interactions, using optimal space of O(log n) bits. Our algorithm also provides the first loosely-stabilizing phase clock not requiring an initial population size estimate.
