DISC 2014 - International Symposium on Distributed Computing

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 2014 will be held in Austin, Texas, between the 12th and 15th of October. DISC is organized in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS).
Clarification on the proceedings
DISC 2014 will have proceedings LNCS/Springer as all previous DISC conferences had. At the conference itself copies of the proceedings will be handed out on a USB memory stick only, and will be available electronically over the web for registered participants. Hard copies will be available from Springer for an extra charge.
