'''PODC''', the '''ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing''', is an [[academic conference]] in the field of [[distributed computing]]. PODC is organised annually, and it is sponsored by the [[Association for Computing Machinery]] special interest groups [[ACM SIGACT|SIGACT]] and [[SIGOPS]].<ref>[http://www.podc.org/ PODC web site].</ref>
