Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing: Difference between revisions

Work presented at PODC typically studies theoretical aspects of distributed computing, such as the design and analysis of [[distributed algorithms]]. The scope of PODC is similar to the scope of [[International Symposium on Distributed Computing]] (DISC),<ref>In Roger Wattenhofer's [http://dcg.ethz.ch/publications/podc07.pdf PODC 2007 Statistics] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706230731/http://dcg.ethz.ch/publications/podc07.pdf |date=2011-07-06 }}, DISC is the number 1 conference on the list of other conferences where PODC authors publish their work.</ref> with the main difference being geographical: DISC is usually organized in European locations,<ref name="disc-dblp">[https://dblp.org/streams/conf/wdag DISC] in [[DBLP]].</ref> while PODC has been traditionally held in North America.<ref name="podc-dblp">[https://dblp.org/streams/conf/podc PODC] in [[DBLP]].</ref> The [[''Edsger W.
