ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing

The ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC) is a leading conference where researchers share advances in understanding how interconnected computers work together. It focuses on the theoretical foundations and practical algorithms that enable distributed systems—like cloud services, data centers, and blockchain networks—to operate efficiently, reliably, and securely. By bringing together experts to discuss new ideas, PODC helps improve the technology behind modern distributed applications, ensuring they can coordinate, recover from failures, and scale effectively across many machines and locations.
