==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">[http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/wdag/ DISC] in [[DBLP]].</ref> while PODC has been traditionally held in North America.<ref name="podc-dblp">[http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/podc/ PODC] in [[DBLP]].</ref> The [[Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing]] is presented alternately at PODC and at DISC.<ref>[[European Association for Theoretical Computer Science|EATCS]] web site: [http://www.eatcs.org/index.php/eatcs-awards#dijkstra_prize Awards: Dijkstra Prize].</ref><ref>PODC web site: [http://www.podc.org/dijkstra/ Edsger W.

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.
