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>

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.

During the recent years 2004–2009, the number of regular papers submitted to PODC has fluctuated between 110 and 224 each year. Of these submissions, 27–40 papers have been accepted for presentation at the conference each year; acceptance rates for regular papers have been between 16% and 31%.<ref>Forewords of [http://portal.acm.org/toc.cfm?id=SERIES391 PODC proceedings], 2004–2009.</ref> <ref>[http://portal.acm.org/acceptrates.cfm?idx=SERIES391&CFID=78313622&CFTOKEN=47801202 PODC: Papers Acceptance Statistics].</ref>▼
== History ==▼
PODC was first organised on 18–20 August 1982, in [[Ottawa]], [[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. [http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=800220]</ref> PODC was part of the [[Federated Computing Research Conference]] in 1996 and 1999.▼
Between 1982 and 2009, PODC was always held in a North American ___location – usually in USA or Canada, and once in Mexico.<ref name="podc-dblp"/> In 2010, PODC will be held in Europe for the first time in its history,<ref>[http://portal.acm.org/browse_dl.cfm?coll=Portal&dl=ACM&idx=SERIES391&linked=1&part=series PODC in ACM Digital Library].</ref> and in the same year, its European sister conference DISC will be organised in USA for the first time in its history.<ref name="disc-dblp"/><ref>[http://listserv.acm.org/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0910&L=PODC&T=0&F=&S=&P=725 DISC'2010 Preliminary Call for Papers].</ref> PODC 2010 will take place [[Zürich]], [[Switzerland]], and DISC 2010 will take place in [[Cambridge, Massachusetts]].▼
