DISC 2017 Review

Abstract

The 31st International Symposium on Distributed Computing, DISC 2017, was held on October 16-20, 2017, in Vienna, Austria. The main conference took place at the Austria Trend Hotel Park Royal Palace close to the Schönbrunn Castle. Many of the attendees claimed that they had not been to Vienna before, and, besides the conference events, also enjoyed visiting the city. However, attendance at all talks and the six (!) colocated workshops was very high. Many will remember this conference also for the great sweets and cakes that were served; there was probably no single person who did not go through some kind of a sugar shock. This review contains a few selected events and talks which constitute our personal highlights of the conference.
