This is a selected list of international academic conferences in the fields of distributed computing, parallel computing, and concurrent computing.
Selection criteria
The conferences listed here are major conferences of the area; they have been selected using the following criteria:- the notability of the conference has been confirmed by multiple independent sources; for example, it has been mentioned in textbooksNancy Ann Lynch: Distributed Algorithms, Morgan Kaufmann, 1996, . Section 1.4, "Bibliographic notes", mentions the following conferences: PODC, FOCS, STOC, SPAA, WDAG.Gerard Tel: Introduction to Distributed Algorithms, 2nd ed., Cambridge University Press, 2000, . Sect. 1.3.3, "Research field", mentions the following conferences: PODC, WDAG/DISC, STOC, FOCS.Chryssis Georgiou, Alexander A. Shvartsman: Do-All Computing in Distributed Systems: Cooperation in the Presence of Adversity, Springer, 2007, . Section "Bibliographic notes" in "Preface" mentions the following conferences: PODC, SPAA, STOC, SODA, FOCS, ICDCS, DISC, OPODIS, SIROCCO. or other sources,PODC mailing list instructions mention the following conferences (in addition to PODC): DISC, ICDCN, ICDCS, OPODIS, PPoPP, SIROCCO, SPAA, SSS.Roger Wattenhofer: PODC 2007 Statistics . The following conferences are listed as other conferences where PODC authors have published most, during the last 5 years: DISC, OPODIS, SPAA, SIROCCO, ICDCS, SRDS, STOC, SODA, FOCS, ESA. or it has received a high rankingThe 2007 Australian Ranking of ICT Conferences . In this ranking, the tiers are A+ ("... one of the very best in its field or subfield..."), A ("... would add to the author's respect..."), B ("... some confidence that research was done..."), L ("... local conferences..."), and C (the rest). Conferences on the tier A+ include PODC. Conferences on the tier A include the following: CONCUR, DISC, EuroPar, HiPC, HPDC, ICDCS, ICPP, ICS, IPDPS, MassPar, NDSS, PACT, PADS, P2P, PPoPP, PPSN, SPAA, SRDS, SUPER. the conference focuses on distributed and parallel computing (instead of having a much broader scope such as algorithms in general) the conference covers a reasonably large part of the fields of distributed and parallel computing (instead of focusing on a narrow sub-topic). For the first criterion, references are provided; criteria 2–3 are usually clear from the name of the conference.
