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). It and the ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC) are the two premier conferences in distributed computing research.[1]

The Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing is presented alternately at DISC and at the PODC.[2][3][4]
