Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing

The Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing ( PODC ) is an academic conference in the field of distributed computing organized annually by the Association for Computing Machinery (special interest groups SIGACT and SIGOPS ). ^[1]

Scope and related conferences

Work presented at PODC Typically studies theoretical aspects of distributed computing, zoals the design and analysis of distributed algorithms . The scope or PODC is similar to the scope of International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC), ^[2] with the main difference being geographical: DISC is Usually organized in European locations, ^[3] while PODC has leg Traditionally held in North America. ^[4]The Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing is Presented alternately at PODC and at DISC. ^{[5] [6] [7]}

Other closely linked to related conferences include ACM Symposium on Parallellisme in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAÂ) In this housing – as the name suggests – well more emphasis on parallel algorithms dan distributed algorithms. PODC and SPAÂ port leg co-located in 1998, 2005 and 2009.

Reputation and Selectivity

PODC is of or in Mentioned to be one of the top conferences in the field of distributed computing. ^{[8] [9] [10]} In the 2007 Australian Ranking of ICT Conferences, PODC was the only conference in the field therein RECEIVED the Highest ranking, “A +”. ^[11]

During the recent years 2004-2009, the number of regular papers Submitted to PODC has fluctuated tussen 110 and 224 lycra year. Or synthesis Submissions, 27-40 papers port leg accepted for presentation at the conference lycra year; acceptance rates for regular papers port leg tussen 16% and 31%. ^{[12] [13]}

History

PODC was first organized on 18-20 August 1982, in Ottawa , Canada. ^[14] PODC was part of the Federated Computing Research Conference in 1996, 1999 and 2011.

Between 1982 and 2009 PODC was always held in a North American location – Usually in USA or Canada, and once in Mexico. ^[4] In 2010, PODC was held in Europe for the first time, ITT history, ^[15] and in the co-year, haar European sister conference DISC was organized in the USA for the first time, ITT history. ^{[3] [16]} PODC 2010 took place in Zurich , Switzerland, and DISC 2010 took place in Cambridge, Massachusetts .

Since 2000, a review of the PODC conference Appears in the year-ending issue of the ACM SIGACT News Distributed Computing Column. ^[17] The review is Usually written by a member of the distributed computing research community.
