The International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC) is an annual academic conference for refereed presentations, whose focus is the theory, design, analysis, implementation, and application of distributed systems and networks. The Symposium is organized in association with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS).

The Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing is presented alternately at DISC and at the ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC).[1][2][3]

History

DISC dates back to 1985, when it began as a biannual Workshop on Distributed Algorithms on Graphs (WDAG); it became annual in 1989. The name changed to the present one in 1998.

The 22nd International Symposium on DIStributed Computing, DISC 2008, was held in Arcachon, France, in September 22-24, 2008.

The 23rd International Symposium on DIStributed Computing, DISC 2009, will be held in Elche, Spain, in September 23-25, 2009.
