DisCoTec 2021 - 16th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques

DisCoTec 2021 is one of the major events sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and the European Association for Programming Languages and Systems (EAPLS). It gathers conferences and workshops that cover a broad spectrum of distributed computing subjects — from theoretical foundations and formal description techniques, testing and verification methods, to language design and system implementation approaches.

DisCoTec 2021 will take place at the University of Malta, Valletta, between June 14-18, 2021. Due to the current COVID-19 developments, the conference is still hosted by the University of Malta but it will be held online. Instead of physical meeting/presentations, the authors of accepted papers have recorded their talks to discuss them with the conference participants online.
