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 SIGACT and SIGOPS.[1]

PODC is often mentioned to be one of the top conferences in the field of distributed computing.[2][3][4] In the 2007 Australian Ranking of ICT Conferences, PODC was the only conference in the field that received the highest ranking, "A+".[5]
The Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing is presented alternately at PODC and at the International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC).[6][7][8]
History
PODC was first organised on 18–20 August 1982, in Ottawa, Canada.[9] PODC was part of the Federated Computing Research Conference in 1996 and 1999. In 1998, 2005, and 2009, PODC was co-located with the ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA).
During the recent years 2004–2008, the number of regular papers submitted to PODC has fluctuated between 132 and 224 each year. Of these submissions, 32–40 papers have been accepted for presentation at the conference each year; acceptance rates have been between 16% and 31%.[10]
