The International Symposium on DIStributed Computing (DISC) is an international forum on the theory, design, analysis, implementation and application of distributed systems and networks. DISC 2017 will be held in Vienna, Austria, between the 16th and 20th of October. DISC is organized in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS).

Yoram Moses Birthday Celebration
We are happy to announce that that there will be a set of invited talks in celebration of the 60th birthday of Yoram Moses at DISC 2017! The talks will be held on the afternoon of October 17th by Joe Halpern (Cornell University, USA), Moshe Tennenholtz (Technion, Israel), Moshe Vardi (Rice University, USA), Shafi Goldwasser (MIT, USA), and Sergio Rajsbaum (UNAM, Mexico).
Awards
- The 2017 Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing will be presented at the DISC’17 banquet to Elizabeth Borowsky and Eli Gafni for their work “Generalized FLP Impossibility result for t-resilient asynchronous computations“.
- The 2017 Principles of Distributed Computing Doctoral Dissertation Award was presented at PODC 2017 to “Improved Distributed Algorithms for Fundamental Graph Problems” by Dr. Mohsen Ghaffari supervised by Professor Nancy Lynch at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
- The best paper award went to “Improved Distributed Degree Splitting and Edge Coloring” by Mohsen Ghaffari, Juho Hirvonen, Fabian Kuhn, Yannic Maus, Jukka Suomela and Jara Uitto.
- The best student paper award went to “Improved Deterministic Distributed Matching via Rounding” by Manuela Fischer.
