24th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems

OPODIS 2020


Computer Networks & Wireless Communication Computer Security & Cryptography Theoretical Computer Science



OPODIS is an open forum for the exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge on distributed computing and distributed computer systems.  OPODIS aims at having a balanced program that combines theory and practice of distributed systems. OPODIS solicits papers in all aspects of distributed systems, including theory, specification, design, system building, and performance.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:




  • Biological distributed algorithms

  • Blockchain technology and theory

  • Communication networks (protocols, architectures, services, applications)

  • Cloud computing and data centers

  • Dependable distributed algorithms and systems

  • Design and analysis of concurrent and distributed data structures

  • Design and analysis of distributed algorithms

  • Randomization in distributed computing

  • Social systems, peer-to-peer and overlay networks

  • Distributed event processing

  • Distributed operating systems, middleware, and distributed database systems

  • Distributed storage and file systems, large-scale systems, and big data analytics

  • Edge computing

  • Embedded and energy-efficient distributed systems

  • Game-theory and economical aspects of distributed computing

  • Security and privacy, cryptographic protocols

  • Synchronization, concurrent algorithms, shared and transactional memory

  • Impossibility results for distributed computing

  • High-performance, cluster, cloud and grid computing

  • Internet of things and cyber-physical systems

  • Mesh and ad-hoc networks (wireless, mobile, sensor), location and context-aware systems

  • Mobile agents, robots, and rendezvous

  • Programming languages, formal methods, specification and verification applied to distributed systems
