OPODIS covers the principles and foundations of distributed computing: consensus and agreement, concurrent data structures, fault tolerance, self-stabilisation, blockchain protocols and distributed graph algorithms. It sits alongside PODC, DISC and SPAA in that space and is the smaller and more European of the group, which makes it a realistic target for theoretical distributed computing work that would be squeezed out of the larger symposia. Ranked B by CORE. The 2026 meeting is the 30th edition, and proceedings are published by LIPIcs as gold open access, so papers are free to read.
