{{Infobox Academic Conference
}}
The '''ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing''' ('''PODC''') is an [[academic conference]] in the field of [[distributed computing]] organised annually by the [[Association for Computing Machinery]] (special interest groups [[ACM SIGACT|SIGACT]] and [[SIGOPS]]).<ref>
==Scope and related conferences==
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
Other closely related conferences include ACM [[Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures]] (SPAA), which – as the name suggests – puts more emphasis on [[parallel algorithms]] than distributed algorithms. PODC and SPAA have been co-located in 1998, 2005, and 2009.

PODC was first organised on 18–20 August 1982, in [[Ottawa, Ontario]], Canada.<ref>Robert L. Probert, [[Michael J. Fischer]], and Nicola Santoro, editors: Proceedings of the First ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing, 1982, ACM Press. {{ISBN|0-89791-081-8}}. {{doi|10.1145/800220}}</ref> 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 the United States or Canada, and once in Mexico.<ref name="podc-dblp"/> In 2010, PODC was held in Europe for the first time in its history,<ref name="podc-dblp"/> and in the same year, its European sister conference DISC was organised in the United States for the first time in its history.<ref name="disc-dblp"/><ref>
Since 2000, a review of the PODC conference appears in the year-ending issue of the ACM SIGACT News Distributed Computing Column.<ref>
